During the last decade, a significant number of scientific studies have supported the use of human scent as a biometric tool and indicator of the presence, or absence, of an individual at a crime scene. These findings even extend to conducting scent identification line-ups with suspects. Human Scent Evidence focuses on some of these recent advances in the use of human scent as forensic evidence and as an identifier.
Topics include:
– Various theories of human odor production – The variability, stability, and persistence of human scent – Historical aspects of the use of human scent in police work in the United States and internationally – Current trends in scent collection techniques, including devices, materials, and storage protocols – Chemical aspects of the evaluation of human scent, including instrumental methods for odor detection and analysis – The legal significance of human scent evidence results – Canine scent work from multiple search categories as described in the Scientific Working Group on Dog and Orthogonal detector Guidelines (SWGDOG)
