5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest Bloodstain texts I have read. OUTSTANDING!, October 26, 1999

By 

Todd A. Thorne (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Interpretation of Bloodstain Evidence at Crime Scenes, Second Edition (Hardcover)

This is one of the finest reference books I have had the pleasure to read. It is easy to understand, no far out explanations. I believe this book should be on the shelf of any and all investigators, new or old. The table of contents was very informative. You are taken from the history of this disipline, all the way to case study. Nothing is missed and you can carry the book by yourself!! Credit was properly given to those that were first, there was no attempt to make one believe the editors were the "first" to discover this disipline. Photos often assisted text. I believe this is necessary for those investigators who do not see this as much as others. There was even a glossary !! EXCELLENT WORK ! I look forward to treating my eyes to the next book by James & Eckert

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone interested in Criminal Law and Enforcement, June 16, 1999

This review is from: Interpretation of Bloodstain Evidence at Crime Scenes, Second Edition (Hardcover)

Anyone involved in law enforcement or Crimial Law will cherish this informative, well written text. It takes a very complicated, mind numbing subject and pilots the reader in an organized, comprehensible manner to a well rounded understanding of the subject. This one should be required reading for all law students and Criminal Law practitioners. A Masterpiece!!!

with lots of pics, detailed explanations packed with helpful infomation, this book is highly recommended for anyone who's interested not only in bloodstain evidence, science, but crimes in gerenal.
this book was a great start for me to learn forensic science.
i got this book for like $144.00 even a used one, authough right now there seem to be cheaper copies, so if you want a copy you should check it out
