| Description |
This unique book will take you behind the scenes as the author leads you through the complex yet easy-to-follow steps of a typical crime scene investigation and reconstruction. This book is dedicated to law enforcement professionals. The information in this book will be particularly helpful when having to testify in court. It takes the mystery out of criminalistics.
In preparing the 2nd edition the author scrutinized the 1st edition and, where appropriate, updated it to reflect current methods in use in crime labs around the country. Many methods, such as polarized light microscopy, have not changed much in a hundred years. Other techniques, most notably in DNA typing, have radically improved even in the few short years since the first edition was published. Also, this edition contains a bit more science than before. There are even some classroom exercises in the Appendix that may assist teacher in preparing an introductory course in forensic sciences.
