This book provides individuals with investigative assignments an overview of current developments and methods in modern forensics. It particularly demonstrates how computer-based methods are paving new paths in classical forensics and how digitization and the integration of information from digital forensics create a more complete picture of a crime. In addition to opportunities for holistic crime and crime scene reconstruction, practitioners are shown the state of the art in many forensic disciplines, and current approaches in forensic research are discussed. The discussion of legal questions arising from the emergence and use of new technologies, as well as their application for forensic purposes, highlights the tension in which modern forensics operates.
