Bowen, assistant director of the Forensic Science Initiative, discusses the ethics involved in forensic work. In textbook format, she looks at different situations, asking the reader/student to construct the ethics of the behavior cited, giving alternate actions that might have been taken. She also covers the ethical problems in related fields of law enforcement and trials. The mutability of ethics among cultures presents a problem but Bowen notes that this is one reason for codes of ethics established by professional groups. The social pressures on a forensic scientist, particularly to fudge the data, are addressed as well. The situational examples are particularly useful for the student as they demonstrate the fine lines of ethical behavior that exist. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
