Summary: Crime Scene
Comment: This was a fantastic book. It had lots of case studies and heaps of glossy, colour diagrams, which made the text very easy to understand. It was technical yet very easy to understand and it was very detailed. A must read for all those interested in forensi science.
Rating: 2
Summary: The illustrated pamphlet on criminal investigations
Comment: This book's target audience is the Hardy Boys mystery crowd. While every page is filled with colorful photographs and great looking illustrations, the depth of information conveyed is extremely thin. While the scope of the material is broad, covering crimes from homicide to cybercrime, you won't learn much about any real criminal investigation beyond what you'd learn from your average dime store crime novel series.
As a reader-friendly overview, it's fine. If, for instance, you happen to be a casual citizen who wants to get a general idea about what police investigators do, or you're an 8th grader looking for material for a Middle School research assignment, this might be an ideal book on the subject. The writing is easy to understand and again, there are lots of great looking pictures and illustrations (though some of them are a tad graphic).
However, if you are a member of the law enforcement community or some other kind of professional investigator, you aren't going to get much out of this title. Look elsewhere for a true reference book on Crime Scene work.
Rating: 1
Summary: Very simplistic and not very informative
Comment: I was really, really disappointed in this book. There is very little information in it, other than the broadest strokes of information about forensics. It is disjointed. Even the photographs are often totally wasted, such as models posed as victims without illustrating *anything* -- just photographs of some guy or girl in a pool of blood, or tied up.
ake, for example, fingerprints. There is like one sentence that says, basically, sometimes iodine vapor is used but it turns things brown and is temporary. No photographs of how it is done, when it is necessary, what the chemical reaction is, etc. This book is written for an eighth grader. You will learn more interesting things about forensic science on CSI!
