5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Book, January 8, 1998

rounds@velocity.net (Erie, Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Criminal Investigation (Hardcover)

Bruce Berg does it again. Another exceptional book that anyone interested in the subject must have. This book features many design characteristics that make it easy and even fun to read. No matter what book you currently count on for Criminal Investigation, if you don't have this text in your library, you are lacking the finest text on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Great Professor. A Must for ANY Law Enforcement Personnel, May 23, 2007

N.H. (South Gate, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Criminal Investigation (Hardcover)

I purchased this book in supplement to Dr. Berg's Criminal Investigation Class at Cal State Long Beach. The book covers most if not all topics on crime scene and related investigations. I apply much of what I learned from this book and Dr. Berg in latent print techniques on a weekly basis. A must for any law enforcement official.
