How did we get the forensic science we have today? The question demands our attention because our understanding of present day forensic science is vastly enriched through gaining an appreciation of what went before and through the realization that things could have been different today - our current arrangements are neither fixed nor inevitable.
The recent history of forensic science has been subject to very little critical, historical attention, which is curious given that the period from the late 19th century to WWII was central to the formation of a separate discipline of forensic science with a distinct professional identity. This book offers a history of the development of forensic sciences, centred on the UK, but with consideration of continental and colonial influences, from around 1880 to approximately 1940. In so doing, it improves our understanding of how forensic science developed as it did and why we have forensic science organizations as they are today
