Overview

Widely recognized as the most accurate, comprehensive text in the field, this practical, step-by-step introduction to criminal investigation gives students a logical framework for understanding the investigative process. Major sections cover current issues such as terrorism, environmental crime, the looting of archaeological sites, videotaping of crime scenes, street gangs, computer crime, fraud, sex-related crimes, and more. Case studies throughout the text emphasize the applied technique of criminal investigation, and its consistently praised art program including graphs, charts, and arresting photographs, depict the practical aspects of investigation and help to clarify difficult scientific concepts. In the eighth edition three new chapters provide coverage of cutting-edge tools, techniques, and subjects that is unmatched by any other text:

Chapter 2 -- Investigators, Investigation, and the Crime Scene
