5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely A Must Read,
This review is from: Death Investigator’s Handbook: A Field Guide To Crime Scene Processing, Forensic Evaluations, And Investigative Techniques (Paperback)
This is the most comprehensive book on field investigation I have ever seen. Covers death scene evidence gathering in a manner that insures every detail is observed and that a strong chain of evidence is developed (hope the LAPD has a bunch of these!). As a writer this one is now tops on my list for research involving murder, both for the intrepid police investigator and for the perp to get away with the crime. Excellent book - can't say much more than that.

This review is from: Death Investigator’s Handbook: A Field Guide To Crime Scene Processing, Forensic Evaluations, And Investigative Techniques (Paperback)
I have read this book and must admit it is probaly one of the best resources in death investigation a officer could have. I have heard "seasoned" officer and investigators tell me that they wished this book was available when they were just starting out. However, it remains a very good reference for officers in any stage of thier career. If you are involved in death investigations in any way BUY THIS BOOK! you will find plenty of usefull information.

This review is from: Death Investigator’s Handbook: A Field Guide To Crime Scene Processing, Forensic Evaluations, And Investigative Techniques (Paperback)
I bought this book some time ago, and has been useful from the start. It does, indeed, give basic information on evidence recovery, Balistics, blood spatter, drowning, and other scenarios you may see. It is on a matter of fact based.If you are looking for reasons why you are preforming these proceedures, I agree, this is not the book for you. But if you are looking for do's and don't and want to see how to correctly regonize, secure and recover a crime scene then this is the book for you!
