Review :
In Tire Tread and Tire Track Evidence: Recovery and Forensic Examination William J. Bodziak has crafted a sweeping, thorough treatment of every aspect of examinations and comparisons relating to tires. This comprehensive work integrates the hard, solid science and the subtle nuance of both procedural techniques and theoretical concepts. Bodziak articulately conveys the subjects clearly and unambiguously. From law enforcement agencies and crime laboratories to private examiners -- from district attorney offices to defense attorneys -- for anyone who documents, collects, evaluates, examines, or compares tires or tire prints or impressions -- Tire Tread and Tire Track Evidence: Recovery and Forensic Examination is the definitive resource. — Rocky S. Stone, Albuquerque Police Department Crime Laboratory (retired), Forensic science private consultant “This book is a must-have reference for any agency that compares, collects, or potentially could collect tire track evidence. “... I was pleasantly taken aback by how much I gleaned from reading this book. I think any analyst who’s been doing this for a number of years will have the same experience. For the experienced examiner, this book contains a great deal of information about tire manufacturing and how the various manufacturing processes can manifest themselves in the crime scene impressions ... . “The book is well organized and thoroughly explains key details of both the collection and comparison processes. ... Any agency that deals with tire track evidence on a regular basis ... will benefit from reading this book and having it as a reference. “The book is illustrated with good quality color photographs and illustrations ... useful tools for applying real world situations to what is being described in the book. “The book also contains information about the most modern manufacturing techniques, and discusses issues relating to the most recent phenomenon in tire track comparisons: digital photography. “... I expect I’ll be using this book for reference for many years to come.” — G. Matt Johnson, International Association for Identification, Science and Practices Subcommittee on Footwear and Tire Track Examination, Chairman "…There is no doubt that any forensic examiner who works in the field of tire examination and comparison will find it imperative to add this to their library. … Photographs and step by step instructions will aid those of all levels of experience … a thorough read of this book will bring any reader to a much greater understanding of the different degrees of tire impression conclusions and their potential value to an investigation.… Mr. Bodziak once again displays his great skill for attention to detail, comprehensive coverage and complete explanation of a forensic discipline. There is no stone left unturned … This book is a first rate publication and destined to be a must have for the shelves of every crime laboratory." — Lesley Hammer, Supervisor, Forensic Physical Unit, Alaska DPS Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, writing in Science and Justice
