Global Forensic Cultures: Making Fact and Justice in the Modern Era
About this Episode
This collection of writings, Global Forensic Cultures: Making Fact and Justice in the Modern Era, explores the diverse historical development and cultural shaping of forensic practices across various societies. The authors examine how legal systems, societal anxieties, and technological innovations have influenced the creation and acceptance of forensic evidence, from nineteenth-century Germany's toxicological analysis to fingerprinting in colonial India and blood spatter analysis in mid-twentieth-century America. The essays also consider the role of experts, the influence of popular culture, and the impact of political contexts on forensic science's authority and its connection to justice. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that forensic science is not a universal, objective endeavor but rather a culturally embedded and evolving set of practices deeply intertwined with local histories and power dynamics.
