Product Description
Product Description
"Pepper strikes a number of goals in one text simultaneously. It is a fine tool to assist CSI practitioners with their day-to-day duties; it is also a guide for career development and, in the comprehensive table of relevant statutes, Pepper provides commonly used abbreviations and academic references, all of which establish the book as a solid launch pad for further reading."

Forensic evidence is dynamic in its context and continues to be highly significant in the detection and prosecution of crime. This means that the knowledge, skill and ability of the person who examines the scene of the crime - the Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) - must be thorough and up to date.
The second edition of this book guides trainee and newly appointed CSIs through the methods and procedures for the accurate recording and recovery of evidence from the scene of a crime. This step-by-step handbook has been thoroughly updated and includes features such as:
- Photographs of the recording, recovery and comparison of evidence
- Detailled drawings of evidence, organizational structures and procedures
- Checklists of roles, equipment and activities required at a crime scene
- Self-assessment questions
Crime Scene Investigation is essential reading for all students - undergraduate or FE - with an interest in forensic law enforcement, particularly those wishing to become Crime Scene Investigators. It is also a handy reference for trainee and professional forensic practitioners.

Format:Paperback
This book is ideal for those interested in, or newly appointed to the role of Crime Scene Investigator. In an easy to read yet clear and concise manner it takes you through the various methods of recording and recovering evidence from a crime scene. Although this text is primarily aimed at Crime Scene Investigators it would inform and support Emergency Services workers required to work at potential or actual crime scenes giving them the background knowledge to avoid contaminating the scene or destroying vital evidence.

To date most of the texts available for forensic science students have been either from the USA or have been fairly indifferent quality " journalistic" texts from this country. Ian Pepper`s book is therefore a welcome addition to the scene. Even better, the text is written by an experienced practitioner in the field who has the confidence to know what to include and what not to. This is a very accessible piece of work, full of good simple illustrations with a clear simple style that students will take to. A long time coming and very welcome too.

This book was one of my favourite texts when I was studying Crime Scene Science. If ever I needed any information on a particular technique, or method of evidence recovery - then I new Ian Pepper would have covered it! This book is ideal for students wanting to work as a CSI / SOCO.
Ian was one of my Lecturers at the University of Teesside, and I can honestly say that this book is excellent. An intelligent book, from a wonderful, intelligent man.
