Just finished reading the book about the emergence of forensic science in 19th and 20th centuries:
I have never thought about how dependent the life of a suspected person was on superstitions, logic and scientific fallacies and just plain bad luck if certain personality types were testifying in a court or collecting and analyzing forensic evidence. And this was up to the middle of 20th century in developed countries like Great Britain! Realizing that we must know about forensic science and its methods in order to protect ourselves and partially considering my expertise in memory dump analysis as the part of computer forensics I ordered another book about modern forensic science and will review it later as soon as I read it.
