Backed up by scrupulous research and hard data, community reforms are proposed and discussed in light of the recently published National Academy of Sciences report on forensic science. A practicing forensic scientist since 1996, Turvey has rendered this first of its kind study into the widespread problem of forensic fraud in the United States. It begins with an overview of forensic fraud as a sub-type of occupational fraud, it explores the extent of fraud in both law enforcement and scientific employment settings, it establishes and then contrasts the core values of law enforcement and scientific cultures and then it provides a comprehensive review of the scientific literature regarding forensic fraud. It defines the nature and scope of the problem, the cultural attitudes and beliefs of those involv
john murdock said A must-read for forensic scientists. Every forensic scientist should read this book and it should be added to every forensic science lab library. The problems in labs are real, and, by reading this thoughtful compilation, lab administrators can develop strategies to combat fraud.
In 2007, he was invited to lecture at the 1st Behavioral Sciences Conference at the Home Team (Police) Academy in Singapore, where he also provided training to their Behavioral Science Unit. In August of 2002, he was invited by the Chinese People's Police Security University (CPPSU) in Beijing to lecture before groups of detectives at the Beijing, Wuhan, Hanzou, and Shanghai police bureaus.

While there is a dearth of data on the actual frequency of forensic fraud, a series of case studies and reports shed light on the ease in which this can permeate forensic culture.In chapter 8, data from 2000 to 2010 are also presented to buttress the point and qualitative sources from courts, agencies, print and electronic media considered other than solely published peer literature. However, there is growing evidence of miscarriage of justice based on misleading forensic evidence. These suggestions would also benefit new services. In some areas, there are no “gold standard forensic methods and there may be competing cultures between scientists and law enforcement agencies.The chapter on Fraud and Scientific Culture, opens with the quote “The scientific endeavour is based on vigilance, not trust which summarises aptly core Popperian theories.
