Prevention and forensic science
2017
This chapter begins with a general discussion of crime, crime prevention and forensic science. It goes on to describe ways in which forensic science has traditionally supported crime prevention before turning to ways in which it might be mobilized to play an enlarged role at both a strategic level and in relation to more specific contributions to undermining the conditions for crime. It concludes with some comments about what would be needed if the enlarged preventive agenda for forensic science were to be implemented. None of the arguments advanced here suggests that the traditional major role of forensic science in contributing to crime investigation and to conviction of the guilty and elimination of innocent suspects should in any way be diminished.
