This book began in presentations
and discussions at the Locating Forensic
Cultures Symposium, held in July 2015 at the University of Notre Dame London
Gateway. Thanks are due to its sponsors: the Wellcome Trust and the
Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at Manchester
University as well as the Department of History, Center for Scholarship in

University Press, we thank Matt McAdam, commissioning editor, and
