Perspectives
I was invited to write this review in response to the publication of my book, Quality Management in Forensic Science. The book sets out the scientific, ethical, legal and quality standards applying to forensic science. The review was written for those perhaps not engaged enough to read the book and to take account of developments since the boom was published.
