KTT's Text Book: Forensic Art and Illustration

Karen Taylor has worked to professionalize the forensic art field, publishing the all-encompassing textbook, *Forensic Art and Illustration. She believes it is incumbent upon all who bear the responsibilities of criminal investigations and prosecutions to understand more about forensic art. As the number of stranger-on-stranger crimes grows, solving these crimes becomes more challenging. Forensic illustration has become increasingly important as a tool for identifying both perpetrators and victims. Forensic Art and Illustration* is the first book to provide complete coverage of all aspects of the field, and includes much previously unavailable information. A practical guide, it is ideal for criminal justice personnel, anthropologists, artists, mental health professionals and others interested in the field.
