Customer Reviews

Criminal Investigation May 24, 2011
by Richard Nelson

This was a very informative textbook written with a great deal of police insight. More than a simplistic introductory text, yet written in an easy-to-read, user-friendly format, it offers a broad approach to criminal investigation. Excellent introductory text on criminal investigation and remains one of my top recommendations.

Flag Review

Criminal Investigation : A Method for Reconstructing the Past: 5 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.

Summary

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.
