• This author's goal is to educate the reader that the collecting, preserving, and examining physical evidence is individualization - associating each piece with its responsible source. Firearms evidence in particular has the potential to individualize its source. The book provides the foundation necessary to develop and sharpen the skills used to investigate shooting incidents and provides an explanation of what constitutes pertinent evidence and appropriate results pertaining to autopsies, forensic laboratory analysis, and reenactments. The text also reviews basic firearm design, function, ammunition components, and terminology.
