Forensic Botany: Principles and Applications to Criminal Casework, Second Edition updates what, at the time, was the very first book published on the subject. This latest edition offers a concise introduction to plant identification, biology, genetics, and how to utilize and apply botanical evidence in criminal cases.



In recent years, forensic botany and the use of various plant and plant?derived evidence have been increasingly utilized in criminal investigations and court cases. Likewise, forensic palynology and other such terms have entered the vernacular as botanical sciences have widened the applications in which such evidence can help solve cases. This includes the use of current and emergent genetic markers and DNA technology, toxicology, diatoms, and pollen. The numerous advances since the last edition was published necessitated added coverage of the technology and testing capabilities that have achieved new levels as the field has developed.



The chapters are written by some of the top experts in the field. Every chapter in the Second Edition is fully updated, with several new chapters focusing on Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP), plant?derived toxins and forensic toxicology, identifying ancient plants used in burial practices for dating sites, digested plants as evidence, and more.



Forensic Botany, Second Edition provides scientists working with DNA, trace evidence, and botanical evidence?as well as investigators and legal professionals?with a thorough understanding of the latest advances and current capabilities in utilizing such evidence in investigating and adjudicating criminal cases.
