Book Description

February 15, 2007 1593454295 978-1593454296 5

This text presents the fundamentals of criminal investigation and provides a sound method for reconstructing a past event (i.e., a crime) based on three major sources of information - people, physical evidence and records. More than a simplistic introductory text, yet written in an easy-to-read, user-friendly format, it offers a broad approach to criminal investigation.




  • Dozens of photographs, graphics, table, charts and diagrams supplement the text.

  • A glossary elaborates on terms found in the text, gathered into one handy reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars textbook needed for class-first rate book, December 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Criminal Investigation, Fifth Edition: A Method for Reconstructing the Past (Paperback)
The book is needed for a course online and though a bit dry to read, the book does an excellent job on educating the reader on an investigator's job, responsibilties, types of evidence and how they are collected and used. Other topics deal with use in court, interviews, and many other related topics. It does show you many things on topics I thought I knew so that makes it a worthwhile book to those studying criminal justice.

This review is from: Criminal Investigation, Fifth Edition: A Method for Reconstructing the Past (Paperback)
I purchased this book because it was needed for one of my Criminal Justice class. The book is very helpful and it goes in depth on a lot of things about crime investigation and how investigators procedures.
