The Routledge International Handbook of Forensic Intelligence and Criminology
Despite a shared focus on crime and its extended family, forensic scientists and criminologists tend to work in isolation rather than sharing the data, methods and knowledge that will broaden the understanding of the criminal phenomenon and its related subjects.
Bringing together perspectives from international experts, this book explores the intersection between criminology and forensic science and considers how knowledge from both fields can contribute to a better understanding of crime and offer new directions in theory and methodology.
This handbook is divided into three parts:
Part I explores the epistemological and historical components of criminology and forensic science, focusing on their scientific and social origins.
Part II considers how collaboration between these disciplines can bring about a better understanding of the organizations and institutions that react to crime, including the court, intelligence, prevention, crime scene investigation and policing.
Part III discusses the phenomena and actors that produce crime, including a reflection on the methodological issues, challenges and rewards regarding the sharing of these two disciplines.
The objective of this handbook is to stimulate a new interdisciplinary take on the study of crime, to show how both forensic and criminological theories and knowledge can be combined to analyse crime problems and to open new methodological perspectives. It will be essential reading for students and researchers engaged with forensic science, criminology, criminal behaviour, criminal investigation, crime analysis and criminal justice.

The cover picture was made by Rodolphe Archibald Reiss (18751929, founder of the school of Lausanne), near 1911, when he was teaching in St-Petersburg and Moscow. This board was used to train police officers to understand what should be observed during a control to identify specific burglars known as Ceiling drillers. Indeed, in the early years of the 20th century, some offenders went upstairs of the targeted premises, made a small hole in the floor, inserted the umbrella and opened it, they could then enlarge the hole (the debris fell down in the umbrella) and finally they used the ladder to go down to commit the theft. The Russian inscription on the board is The physical evidences collected at the scene of the crime.
