Product Description

Review

'I recommend this book to all first-year forensic science students, but it also has something to say to those in more advanced years and even postgraduates. Lawyers, scene of crime investigators and police officers should also find this book of considerable interest.'
Professor Brian Caddy, Former President of the Forensic Science Society – review for Education in Chemistry, Royal Society of Chemistry

'The authors convey serious messages in a rigorous but accessible and engaging manner. I would thoroughly recommend this text as an educational resource for all those teaching the early stages of courses incorporating forensic science and as an insightful and well-organised summary for those they teach.'
Professor Robert Hillman, Leicester University - review for Higher Education Academy, Physical Sciences Centre

--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for research and information!, 27 July 2004

Miss Gill S Evans (Newport Pagnell, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Forensic Science (Paperback)

This book covers the vast techniques and areas covered within forensic science. It offers case studies and detailed information on topics such as documents, hair and fibres, fingerprints and DNA Profiling. The book is able to keep the reader interested as it includes current information on the Forensic sector and the combination of diagrams and photographs. I would encourage all those interested in Forensic Science to read this book as it will provide a good overview of what is incorporated and is easy to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, 26 Jun 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: Forensic Science (Paperback)

I bought this book as an aid for my Forensic Science degree course and it has been extremely helpful. It contains useful and informative sections on items such as DNA, footwear impressions analysis, explosives, fibres, court procedures etc. The illustrations are also good. I found the book easy to digest and understand, definately recommended, regardless of whether you are studying this as a subject or just want to know more about forensic science.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 20 Sep 2006

Louise Maynard-wallace "lollypoplu" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Forensic Science (Paperback)

Andrew Jackson is one of the lecturers on my Forensic Science course at Uni, so it was no surprise to find this book was listed as a core text. I used it practically every day in my first year and now I'm starting my second year I imagine I'll still refer to it for useful information.

I've found it very helpful, interesting and not too complicated (while also not being patronising like some other books).

I would greatly recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by the subject, or for those who have a genuine interest in pursuing it beyond the boundaries of "just for pleasure".
