Forensics: The Anatomy of Crime

by 薇兒.麥克德米(Val McDermid)
Language: Chinese
Release Date: August 31, 2017

◆2016年安東尼獎(Anthony Award)最佳非小說得獎作 ◆2016年愛倫坡獎(Edgar Award)最佳犯罪實錄入圍作 ◆泛科學網站2017年9月選書 英國犯罪小說天后薇兒.麥克德米親炙法醫與鑑識科學最前線 從調查者、被害者與加害者的多重角度,窺見犯罪偵查堂奧! 「這些科學家所分享的故事,從犯罪現場到法庭的曲折旅程,將是你聽過最引人入勝的故事之一。同時提醒我們:事實往往比小說更驚異。」 一直以來,英國犯罪小說天后薇兒.麥克德米都在小說中解決複雜的刑事案件,面對人性難以想像的邪惡。這一次,她把目光轉移至現實世界,研究關於鑑識科學的一切! 歷史上第一個被解剖的對象是誰?發生在什麼時候? 如何從屍體上採集的蛆判斷死亡時間? 怎麼運用相當於一撮鹽的百萬分之一的DNA痕跡,將殺人犯定罪? 由美國考古學家帶領的阿根廷科學家團隊,如何揭開種族屠殺受害者的祕密? 本書各章節分別切入當今法醫與鑑識科學的各種主要技巧,從火災現場取證、血跡、DNA分析、臉部重建、人體解剖學、法醫人類學及昆蟲學的應用,到最新的電子鑑識技術等。麥克德米在各項技術發展中都觸及一個主題:「鑑識是一門在科學與人性中間遊走的學問。」在安全、控制度高的實驗室中發展出來的技術與知識,如何理解、回應被害人家屬的需求與心情;如何推測、設想加害者的動機與方法;如何在法庭交鋒中,贏得陪審團的理解與共識(但並不是百分之百保證成功)。如同科學方法是一門持續演進的知識,法醫與鑑識科學中永遠會有某些主觀成分,可能左右詮釋走向——例如,專家對於指紋是否相同一事確實可能有不同詮釋,因而導致庭審結果迥異。 麥克德米運用她一貫的明快書寫風格,融合記者多線採訪及資料並陳的銳利思考,佐以犯罪小說家述說故事的功力,切入圍繞著犯罪鑑識這門學科的種種提問與迷思、進展與挫敗。從犯罪現場如何採證、被害者遺體如何鑑別、一路到如何進入犯罪者的內心,透過剖繪人格、行為與動機以取得破案先機。在這趟奇特旅程中,我們將走過戰地、火場、停屍間,觸及超凡的勇氣與邪惡。 【各方推薦讚揚】 杜鵑窩人(推理評論人) 洪宏嘉(台灣推理作家協會理事長) 孫家棟(台大法醫所教授) 陳浩基(推理作家) 黑米(電視劇《鑑識英雄》編劇) ——盛讚推薦(按姓氏筆畫排列) 中央警察大學鑑識科學學系副教授...
