2.0 out of 5 stars
Too technical, not for law enforcement, 25 Feb 2008
By Dale "Dale" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Advances in Fingerprint Technology (Forensic & Police Science) (Hardcover)
I bought the book because of who wrote it. I expected it to be geared towards law enforcement. I am a police officer in the CSI area and I found the book to be much more of a Crime Lab book than anything we would use as police officers. The technical flow was not for me. I don't need to know what every chimical in finger print powder is or how to make my own powder.
