About the Book

What is the process for a successful criminal investigation? Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigation is intended to answer all of the questions of who, what, where, when, why and how a violent crime occurred and/or was committed. It is intended for students in the field of criminal justice who wish to become criminal investigators-exposing them to the tools and processes needed to conduct a proper criminal investigation, but also the reality of working to support others as a team.
