Coauthored by our very own Nicholas V. Passalacqua, associate professor and director of the Forensic Anthropology Laboratory, here at The Ohio State University,
The book examines what it means to be a professional forensic anthropologist, addressing real-world challenges such as navigating ethical codes, identifying misconduct, and serving as an expert witness.
