CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION
27 April 2000
Format:Paperback
Review of 1st Edition...VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR A NEWLY PUBLISHED BOOK, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A SEASONED CRIME SCENE SEARCH INVESTIGATOR. ALTHOUGH THE TEXT IS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND, IT IS TOO ELEMENTARY, AND APPEARS TO OFFER NOTHING NEW. THERE IS A GENERAL LACK OF ELABORATION OF COVERED TOPICS/TECHNIQUES. THE TITLE OF THIS BOOK SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE WORD, "INTRODUCTION" OR "BASIC". DEFINITELY A BOOK FOR BEGINNERS OR THOSE SEEKING GENERAL KNOWLEDGE. TOO PRICEY FOR THE CONTENT.

Crime Scene Investigation
13 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
This is a very good introductory Criminal Justice text. It is easy to see that the authors targeted the general introductory cj students and those interested in exploring the field of crime scene investigation. Basic terms and proceedures are presented in clear everyday science based applications. This text uses understandable charts, graphs and photos to enhance crime scene applications. This text is clearly not for those who are working at the graduate level, but it clearly meets the needs of the student who is surveing forensic opportunties. Good job

Crime Scene Investigation
11 Feb 2003
Format:Paperback
As a former police reserve officer, I spent years requesting CSI with little understanding of just what they do. This book goes well beyond lifting fingerprints and other routine tasks that police officers are typically limited to. I now have a better awareness of the capabilities of CSI and conciderations about how to protect a scene and how CSI can be used to investigate certain crimes. I also have a greater appreciation for CSI personnel and the difficult job they have. I liked the book and believe it would be helpful to anyone in law enforcement.
