The Forensic Casebook: The Science of Crime Scene Investigation

THE ULTIMATE READERSâ€™ GUIDE TO THE ART OF FORENSICS!

An intrepid investigator crawls through miles of air conditioning ducts to capture the implicating fibers of a suspectâ€™s wool jacket . . . A forensic entomologist discovers insects in the grill of a car and nails down a drug dealerâ€™s precise geographical path . . . A gluttonous criminalâ€™s fingerprints are lifted from a chocolate truffle. . . .

Filled with these and many other intriguing true stories, and packed with black and white illustrations and photographs, The Forensic Casebook draws on interviews with police personnel and forensic scientistsâ€”including animal examiners, botanists, zoologists, firearms specialists, and autoposistsâ€”to uncover the vast and detailed underworkings of criminal investigation. Encyclopedic in scope, this riveting, authoritative book leaves no aspect of forensic science untouched, covering such fascinating topics as:

â€¢ Securing a crime scene

â€¢ Collecting fingerprintsâ€”and feet, lip, and ear prints
â€¢ Interpreting the stages of a bodyâ€™s decay
â€¢ Examining hair and fiber evidence
â€¢ Trace evidence from firearms and explosives
â€¢ â€œLiftingâ€ DNA prints
â€¢ Computer crime and forensic photography
â€¢ Career paths in criminal science

Lucidly written and spiked with real crime stories, The Forensic Casebook exposes the nitty gritty that other books only touch upon. Here is a reference book as addictive as a page-turning novel of suspense.
