Forensic "science" (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-0410170393oct17,1,5918666.story?coll=chi-news-hed) - I can't recommend this series enough. This five-part series published by the Chicago Tribune (2004) does a fantastic job of exposing the lack of scientific support for many forensic techniques such as fingerprinting, arson investigation, and firearm and bite mark identification. It also describes quite well how the justice system and juries so easily fall for the claims of supposed "experts," how they became "experts," and why it is so easy for many of them to engage in confirmation bias and belief perseverance.
