Ethics in Forensic Science: Professional Standards for the Practice of Criminalistics

Editorial Reviews

Most trial lawyers at one time or another wonder how experts, apparently unrestrained by ethics, reach their conclusions. Author Peter Barnett explores ethical issues and ethical codes for forensic experts that arise through the interactions between the methodology of science, the principles of justice, and the realities of the practice of law and criminalistics. He analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of various ethical codes and provides concrete examples that illustrate alternative courses of action that might be taken. --David Marshall Nissman, J.D.

Review
"The fact that this book adopts a fairly general approach to forensic disciplines is one of its strengths...It is therefore essential that we all have an awareness and an understanding of these ramifications of our work, and Barnett's book is a decent place to start. This book will be of particular interest and use to those who adopt a more practical rather than academic approach to their particular discipline, and is vital to those creating their own codes of conduct however for some of the functional approach of this book may leave you feeling slightly unfulfilled." -Tim Thompson "Peter Barnett has built an interesting framework and discussion of ethics as it relates specifically to forensic science. …very good contribution to the series Protocols in Forensic Science and will be very useful to forensic scientists." - Harold W. Peel, Ph.D., in Journal of the Canadian Society of Forensic Science
