Review
"My overall comment on the text is chat it is well organized. I really like the case studies that are provided at the end of each chapter. "WOW" these are great selling points in themselves. This author is an expert, not just an educator." — Donald Alsdurf, Kansas City Kansas Community College, Kansas City, KS

Focusing on the legal significance of evidence, this text outlines the fundamentals of inquiry and then carefully details the elements of investigation -- from the preliminaries to case preparation for prosecutor review. It emphasizes the newest dimensions in the techniques of criminal investigation and their application to various crimes, and reflects the increasing demand for greater trustworthiness of police evidence-gatherers and the validity of forensic-science tests.

Some of the examples are old, out dated methods,
By A Customer
This review is from: Criminal Investigation: Basic Perspectives (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
Overall, this text is not bad, although several instructional areas are out-dated material, ie: marking "shell casings, "bullets", on the face,etc. Also, todays training does not include marking handguns on every piece that can be removed, ie: frame, cylinder, barrel, grips, etc.

Great book for new investigators,
By 5-0 on patrol (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Criminal Investigation: Basic Perspectives (11th Edition) (Paperback)
As a officer I found this book to be a great read. I highly recommend this book to new officers or anyone interested in the investigations field. Everything is covered in this addition. I especially liked the included interrogation and deception detection tips. Why learn this the hard way through trial and error(like many of use do in law enforcement)? This book does not read like a product of academia; which is sometimes stifled and stiff. Instead, the reader is given an insight into police work by an experienced police investigator.
