Martín Ríos, Mª del Pilar, Víctima y justicia penal,  http://www.marcialpons.es/libros/victima-y-justicia-penal/9788492788620/

Resumo do Livro:

En los últimos tiempos hemos venido asistiendo al resurgimiento de la figura de la víctima del delito. Relegada secularmente a un segundo plano, se alzan voces que reclaman su vuelta al lugar preeminente que merece. Este trabajo entronca con la denominada victimología procesal, que reivindica, como un fin esencial del proceso penal, lograr la satisfacción de las víctimas.
Desde esa óptica, en esta obra se analizan diversos aspectos relacionados con la participación de la víctima en el proceso penal.
Junto al análisis de sus facultades y actuaciones en el proceso, se examinan de manera particular tanto su necesaria reparación como la protección de que ha de ser objeto (incluida, en este punto, su protección frente a la victimización secundaria). Otro tanto cabe decir del examen de las nuevas tendencias vinculadas al principio de oportunidad y a la búsqueda de soluciones alternativas de resolución de conflictos, que son ampliamente analizadas.

Bell, Suzanne, A dictionary of Forensic Science
http://www.marcialpons.es/libros/a-dictionary-of-forensic-science/9780199594009/

Resumo do livro:

Forensic scientists apply scientific analysis in a legal context and play a vital role in solving crimes. Sometimes the collection of forensic evidence is the only way to establish or exclude an association between suspect and victim or crime scene, or to establish a likely order of events. Profiting from recent scientific developments and the advancement of technological equipment, forensic science is a rapidly evolving discipline that encompasses many sciences and the law. This dictionary covers in over 1300 entries the key concepts within forensic science, including a wide array of relevant specialist terms from areas such as chemistry, biology, anthropology, art, engineering, firearms, toolmarks, trace evidence, crime scene investigation, case history, biographies of investigators and criminals, as well as forensic computing. Ranging from crime scene to fibers and fluorescence to RAM, this new dictionary is the most up-to-date of its kind and is international in scope. Entry-level web links to online resources are listed and regularly updated on a companion website, expanding the scope of the dictionary and pointing to more in-depth supplementary material. Many entries are complemented by case examples (Dr Crippen, Mary Ann Cotton, etc.), figures, and photographs, which makes this A to Z an ideal reference for students of forensic science, as well as professionals and those with an interest in forensics.
