FORENSICS JOURNAL Welcome to the third edition of the Stevenson University Forensics Journal. The breadth and depth of this year’s submissions are outstanding. We are pleased to bring you the finest work from our current students and recent graduates of the Forensic Studies and Forensic Sciences Master’s Programs. In this edition, we are fortunate to have representation from a variety of programs and perspectives. Contributors address pressing issues in the fields of forensic science, investigations, accounting and law. Each submission has been peer reviewed by a current student and undergone the editing process with both faculty and outside editors. Each year we strive to improve the Journal in both content and design. This year, we have added a new section titled, “Faculty Voices.” We encourage the input of all faculty interested in reviewing forensic studies or sciences books or journals. We also welcome faculty who are doing primary research to share their work with our scholarly community. Our editorial board has been reduced for efficiency and effectiveness and now includes Abigail Howell, Stephanie Witt and me as well as faculty and administrative consultants. Please let us know what you think as we strive to improve the Journal each year. Comments and questions are welcome at [email protected]. Carolyn Hess Johnson, Esq. Editor and Publisher 1
