Table of ContentsReviewsThrough her personal experience over 18 months observing forensic scientists in a metropolitan crime lab, sociologist Bechky introduces readers to the intricacies of a high-stakes job that can change the outcome of some of the most important court cases. * Discover Magazine * The title is catchy, the cover provocative, but for readers seeking the standard sortie into the inner workings of a forensic lab, Beth A. Bechky's book offers something quite different - a live, human angle. . . . Bechky's portrait of the daily conflict faced by crime lab workers should prove enlightening to outsiders. . . . The writing is crisp and jargon-free, and the text includes many interesting anecdotes. . . . this account of a fascinating work world manages to be both scholarly and engaging. ---Kathy Reichs, New York Times Book Review Illuminating. ---Marc Landas, Scientific Inquirer Introduces readers to the ways in which real-life crime-lab personnel solve crimes.
