Overview

This book provides the current entomological techniques and procedures essential for crime and death scene investigations. This includes detailed discussions of decomposition analysis, as well as the collection, preservation, and identification of insects and arthropod relatives. Laboratory-based subjects include entomotoxicology, molecular techniques, DNA sequencing, and spatial modelling for the prediction of insect behaviour. Specialty subjects not covered anywhere else deal with the insect nervous system, insects of forensic importance other than flies and beetles, indoor arthropods, phoretic mites, and insects in cases of neglect of children and the elderly. A history of death and surrounding myths help illustrate the roots of forensic entomology. A detailed critical analysis of future trends in forensic entomology, and a dedicated chapter on the impact of climate change on forensic entomology reveal concrete directions for the entomology as a discipline within the forensic sciences.
