Call for chapters: Cases on Forensic and Criminological Science for Criminal Detection and Avoidance

The editors are inviting contributions of chapters that examine detection avoidance strategies used by offenders to evade justice and the current methods used by investigators to overcome such efforts. This volume is part of the acclaimed ‘Cases on’ Advances in Criminology Book Series with IGI-Global which applies case study approaches to deepen understandings of crime. We welcome international case studies on crime detection and offender avoidance strategies observed within real-world cases across a spectrum of disciplines.

We particularly welcome contributions from early career researchers and those returning to academia after a period of leave.

If you have an interest in contributing to this project, please send a brief abstract (500 words max) outlining the title for your chapter and an overview of the case study.
