A ground-breaking, reality-based approach to criminal investigation.

Other criminal investigation texts claim to be different. Criminal Investigation: An Illustrated Case Study Approach truly is. This innovative text uses illustrated case studies to turn crime scene photos into effective learning tools. Founded on the principle that the study of criminal investigation is a highly visual endeavor, the text presents series of photos that reconstruct how an investigator would encounter real crime scenes. The chapters provide realistic, no-punches-pulled coverage of what students can expect in the field of criminal investigation, including investigative tools and techniques, relevant laws and guidelines, and time-tested insight from authors with extensive field experience.
