    A threat left on an answering machine, a bank robbery caught on videotape, and a taped confession in a police interrogation room all have one thing in common-they are examples of situations that will rely on sounds and voices as key pieces of evidence in a criminal investigation. This book is designed for the experts who must be able to properly handle this kind of auditory evidence, decipher what is said, and accurately identify the suspect or suspects who have been recorded.

    In the age of mobile telephones, voicemail, and ever-advancing voice-recognition software applications, the potential for voice-based evidence as part of an investigation increases. Development of the methods and techniques needed to analyze this evidence will rely on the information presented in this unique book.

    Eleven years after the publication of his seminal book, The Acoustics of Crime, Dr. Harry Hollien returns to share the benefit of over 40 years of experience in the field of forensic acoustics. Forensic Voice Identification fills the need for a new, comprehensive reference for professionals who work with recorded evidence, covering key areas such authentication of speech recordings, voice stress analysis, and speaker identification.

    This practical, hands-on guide covers the basic sciences behind voice identification, and outlines many applications unique to this forensic specialty. For instance, one chapter covers everything the reader needs to know about coordinating "ear witness" lineups and another discusses the ins and outs of using professional consultants in an investigation.
