Review :
"The outstanding appeal of this book is its length and breadth of coverage of the forensic science profession: seven sections with 32 chapters by able contributors. …encyclopedic in its coverage … The section on forensic engineering includes an absorbing discussion of the World Trade Center collapse. …comprehensive coverage of psychology, psychiatry, and criminal profiling in forensic science. … Nearly 350 color illustrations contribute to the book's readability. Well suited for introductory courses surveying the forensic science profession. Summing up: Recommended. All levels, especially professionals, attorneys, and students." - R. Saferstein, Widener University, in CHOICE "Most of the Forensic Science textbooks leave a considerable amount of information to be figured out by the student. For example blood pattern evidence is difficult to explain. This text offers what I would consider the best explanation I have seen, and that includes those offered while attending seminars on Homicide Investigation. The wording is clear, concise, and allows the reader to easily follow the explanation. The text also makes excellent use of forensic photographs. My experience is that a picture is in fact worth a thousand words when attempting to make a point during a discussion." - Russell Holyfield, Manchester Community College, Connecticut
