Product Description

Review

Essential for those contemplating a career in forensic science or criminal law. -- Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (2005) 382: 1343 (Richard Turle) Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry - ONLY SEND REVIEW COPIES WHEN REQUESTED I recommend this book to those studying, or teaching on, university courses which include forensic analysis. I also recommend this as a readable resource for all of those who have an interest in forensic investigations and would like a clear, concise description of their background. -- Education in Chemistry, Vol.42, No.4, July 2005 (Matthew Almond) Education in Chemistry A unique sophisticated text...an invaluable resource. -- Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Volume 5, Issue 2, November 2004, ISSN 1471 - 7166 Physical Sciences Educational Reviews


Product Description

Forensic science has been variously described as fascinating, challenging and even frightening. If you have only a vague concept of what forensic science is, this book will provide the answer. Aimed at non-scientists, or those with limited scientific knowledge, Crime Scene to Court covers all three main areas of an investigation where forensic science is practised, namely the scene of the crime, the forensic laboratory and the court. Coverage includes details of how crime scene and forensic examinations are conducted in the United Kingdom, the principles of crime scene investigations and the importance of this work in an investigation, and courtroom procedures and the role of the expert witness. The latest methods and techniques used in crime scene investigation and forensic laboratories are reported, cases are presented to illustrate why and how examinations are performed to generate forensic evidence and there is a bibliography for each chapter which provides further material for those readers wishing to delve deeper into the subject. This revised and updated edition also includes coverage on changes in professional requirements, the latest developments in DNA testing and two new chapters on computer based crimes and Bloodstain Pattern Analysis. Ideal for those studying forensic science or law, the book is intended primarily for teaching and training purposes. However, anyone with a role in an investigation, for example police, crime scene investigators or indeed those called for jury service, will find this text an excellent source of information.

4.0 out of 5 stars University core text, 14 Jan 2001
I found this book a great source of information and understanding during the first year of my degree in forensic science. I am yet to find whether it will be as useful in the second year. Great so far!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for reference, 10 Dec 2005
By A Customer
I recently qualified as a CSI and this book was reccommended, having had a chance to quickly view its contents prior to purchase. The book delivers excellent detail and will be used for reference or indeed as background reading to anyone interested in a career in this field.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book but not my style of writing, 19 Jan 2009
By T. Christidou (Bournemouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've trying really hard to read this book but I found the way of writing quite tiring and the book in general quite complicated. If you can take it, go for it cause it's supposed to be one of these books that everyone is suggesting for reading.
