The authoritative guide to navigating crime scenes—for professionals and for anyone fascinated by the world of CSI.
FBI Handbook of Crime Scene Forensics is the official procedural guide for law enforcement agencies, attorneys, and tribunals submitting evidence to the FBI. This handbook outlines the proper methods for investigating crime scenes, examining evidence (bullets, computers, hairs, inks, lubricants, ropes, shoeprints, tire treads, weapons of mass destruction, and more), packing and shipping evidence to the FBI, and observing safety protocol at hazardous crime scenes. At once a guide for professional forensics experts and an introduction for laymen, FBI Handbook of Crime Scene Forensics makes perfect reading for fans of Cold Case, Silent Witness, and the Law & Order and CSI franchises, and anyone with an interest in investigative police work and the criminal justice system.

This review is from: FBI Handbook of Crime Scene Forensics (Paperback)
According to another customer, this book is available for free (pdf version). I wish I had paid attention to this before, but anyway... a book is always a book. And this is a very interesting one. Not great, just good.

IF YOU'RE A FICTION WRITER AND HAVE CRIME SCENES IN YOUR NOVEL, GET THIS BOOK!,
By M.S. Bylenok aka Marsha Radford "Marsha Radford" (Burbank, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: FBI Handbook of Crime Scene Forensics (Paperback)
If you're a fiction writer and have crime scenes in your novel, get this book! In this book, you will find out details of crime scene investigation available nowhere else, and you can trust the FBI to tell it like it really is. This book is the actual procedural law enforcement agencies use to submit evidence to the FBI. If you want to know how impressions of footprints are taken in snow; that money from bank robberies can be tested not only for dye but tear gas residue; what evidence should be collected in paper versus plastic; how to set up a camera to photograph a crime scene; and the collection of tissue, bones, and teeth, those are just a few examples of the information this book is packed with. Even though my novel is a serial killer story with a humorous slant (a woman is murdering her online enemies for their Barbie doll collections), the plethora of details in this handbook will lend your writing authenticity and they will make your story come alive for the reader. Thank you, FBI, for publishing it. -- M.S. Bylenok (Bury Me With Barbie)
