Produktinformationen zu „The Sherlock Effect (PDF)“

Forensic science is in crisis and at a cross-roads. In courtrooms everywhere, innocent people pay the price of life imitating art, of science following detective fiction. In particular, this book looks at the long and disastrous shadow cast by that icon of deductive reasoning, Sherlock Holmes. In The Sherlock Effect, author Dr. Thomas W. Young shows why this Sherlock-Holmes-style reasoning does not work and, furthermore, how it can-and has led-to wrongful convictions.

Autoren-Porträt von Thomas W. Young

Dr. Thomas W. Young, a forensic pathologist and full-time forensic doctor for nearly thirty years, has testified in court over 460 times both as a prosecution and defense expert. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the National Association of Medical Examiners: two organizations that represent the mainstream of forensic science and pathology. He has written extensively and been published peer-reviewed journals. He served as a chief medical examiner successfully for nearly 12 years and is a former director of a training program in forensic pathology. As a forensic practitioner, what makes him uniquely qualified to write this book are not only his credentials, his research on real-world trials and case studies, his examination of current practices, and his close study of deductive and inductive logic. Thanks to his years as a chief medical examiner and as a current independent forensic pathology consultant, Dr. Young has a deep understanding of the problem about which he writes.
