Forensic Analysis - Scientific and Medical Techniques and Evidence under the Microscope is an edited collection with contributions from scholars in ten countries, containing cutting-edge analyses of diverse aspects of contemporary forensic science and forensic medicine. It spans forensic gait analysis evidence, forensic analysis in wildlife investigations, mitochondrial blood-typing, DNA profiling, probabilistic genotyping, toolmark analysis, forensic osteology, obstetric markers as a diagnostic tool, salivary analysis, pharmacogenetics, and forensic analysis of herbal drugs. This book provides information about the parameters of expertise in relation to a number of areas that are being utilised as a part of criminal investigations and that are coming before courts internationally or will soon do so. Thereby, it is hoped that rigor in the evaluation of such evidence will be enhanced, a fillip for developing standards will be provided, and the incidence of miscarriages of criminal justice will be minimised.

Die Forschungsagentur Forensic Architecture untersucht Kriegsverbrechen und ökologische wie politische Krisen und bringt sie mit ihrer "Investigativen Ästhetik" (MACBA 2017) in den Ausstellungs- wie Gerichtssaal. Lisa Stuckey untersucht anhand der Figuration 'Law on Trial' - Gesetz und Recht vor Gericht, auf dem Prüfstand, zur Verhandlung -, weshalb ausgerechnet ästhetischen und poetischen forensischen Verfahren eine radikale Befragung sozialer Gerechtigkeit überantwortet wird. In punktuellen Exkursen vergleicht die Studie Strategeme von Forensic Architecture mit denen der Medienkünstlerin Constanze Ruhm und der Poetin M. NourbeSe Philip. Nachdem das Recht im 18. Jahrhundert zum "Modellfall für Wissenssysteme" (Vismann/Weitin 2006) geworden ist, steht das heutige buchstäbliche Auf-die-Probe-Stellen von Recht im Zusammenhang mit einer neuen Dimension der Aufdeckung, die an die Institutionskritik der 1990er Jahre anschließt und zu einem Funktionswandel der Künste führt, in denen forensische Verfahren Konjunktur haben. Veröffentlichung mit Unterstützung des Austrian Science Fund (FWF). The research agency Forensic Architecture investigates war crimes and ecological and political crises, and brings them to both exhibition spaces and courtrooms by applying its "investigative aesthetics" (MACBA 2017). Using the figuration "Law on Trial," Lisa Stuckey determines why it is precisely aesthetic and poetic forensic procedures that are assigned the task of radically questioning social justice.
