Preface

The American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) is a multi-disciplinary
professional organization created and maintained to provide leadership in the
application of science to the legal system. A premier forensic science organization, its
specific objectives are to promote professionalism, integrity, competency and education,
and to foster scientific research, improvements in the practice of forensic science, and
collaboration within the many fields of forensic science.
For sixty-three years, since its founding in 1948, the AAFS has served a
distinguished and diverse membership. It comprises eleven different sections representing
the broad range of expertise and interest of its members, now numbering over 6200.
Included among them are physicians, attorneys, dentists, toxicologists, physical
anthropologists, document examiners, psychiatrists, physicists, engineers, criminalists,
educators, and digital evidence specialists. Representing all fifty US states, all ten
Canadian provinces and 61 other countries from all corners of the world, AAFS members
actively practice forensic science. In many cases, AAFS members also teach and conduct
research in the field, producing hundreds of refereed publications and books.

v
The editors express gratitude to the past and present AAFS leadership, especially
to the AAFS staff headed by Executive Director Anne Warren, to the AAFS Presidents
since 1949 and to our section’s directors and chair persons.
