Footwear Impression Evidence: Detection, Recovery and Examination, SECOND EDITION

This bestselling second edition is the most authoritative book in the field. It covers crime scene recovery and enhancement of footwear impressions, presents material needed to prepare for the examination of footwear impression evidence in court, and provides information on numerous methods of shoe manufacturing and their forensic implications. Topics discussed include barefoot evidence, which concerns impressions made by the naked or sock-clad foot or those which remain in discarded footwear; instances where footwear impression evidence was of primary importance in bringing about a conviction or confession; and the footwear impression evidence in the O.J. Simpson criminal and civil cases.
