Book Synopsis

Bridging the gap between practical crime scene investigation and scientific theory, Crime Scene Forensics: A Scientific Method Approach maintains that crime scene investigations are intensely intellectual exercises that marry scientific and investigative processes.

  • The general scene investigation process, including definitions and philosophy as well as hands-on considerations
  • Archiving the crime scene through photography, sketching, and video
  • Managing the crime scene investigationthe glue that holds the investigation together
  • Searching the crime scenethe logical byproduct of archiving and management
  • Impression/pattern evidence, including fingerprints, bloodstain
