FROM THE VOICES OF HISTORY - A SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL SERIES BY CRIME LAB REPORT America’s Sherlock Holmes in the early years of forensic science – an interview with Luke S. May August 24, 2009 by Crime Lab Report AboutVoices of History Forensic science is both young and old. As an organized profession shaped by strict quality management standards and higher educational requirements, forensic science is very young – less than 30 years old. But many of the most commonly practiced techniques have a long history of development and research that is often forgotten even by forensic science practitioners themselves. In ourFrom the Voices of History series,Crime Lab Report resurrects pioneers and thinkers who were critical to the development of today’s forensic sciences. In their own words, we learn of their contributions, their setbacks, and their perspective on contemporary issues facing the profession. What follows are the comments of one such pioneer set within an imaginary interview conducted byCrime Lab Report’s associate managing editor, Jay Jarvis. In some instances, actual quotes have been used. In other instances,Crime Lab Report has exercised editorial liberty by either carefully paraphrasing the individual or providing answers that are most consistent with comments appearing in various literature sources. Every effort has been made to preserve both the meaning and context of such comments.
