"In summary, I found the work immensely readable; I like the way chapters do not require reading in a chronological order. I would recommend to students and professionals alike as it provides an excellent and sustainable entry point and foundation to the study practice of criminology law criminal justice, forensic science and forensic investigation." --CSEye

Synopsis
The terms forensic investigator and forensic investigation are part of our cultural identity. They can be found in the news, on television, and in film. They are invoked, generally, to imply that highly trained personnel will be collecting some form of physical evidence with eventual scientific results that cannot be questioned or bargained with. In other words, they are invoked to imply the reliability, certainty, and authority of a scientific inquiry. Using cases from the authors' extensive files, Forensic Investigations: An Introduction provides an overview of major subjects related to forensic inquiry and evidence examination. It will prepare Criminal Justice and Criminology students in forensic programs for more specialized courses and provide a valuable resource to newly employed forensic practitioners. Written by practicing and testifying forensic professionals from law enforcement, academia, mental health and the forensic sciences, this work offers a balanced scientific approach, based on the established literature, for broad appeal. The purpose of this book is to help students and professionals rid themselves of the myths and misconceptions they have accumulated regarding forensic investigators and the subsequent forensic investigations they help to conduct. It will help the reader understand the role of the forensic investigator; the nature and variety of forensic investigations that take place in the justice system; and the mechanisms by which such investigations become worthy as evidence in court. Its goals are no loftier than that. However, they could not be more necessary to our understanding of what justice is, how it is most reliably achieved, and how it can be corrupted by those who are burdened with apathy and alternative motives. A primary text for instructors teaching forensic courses related to criminal and forensic investigation Written by forensic professionals, currently in practice and testifying in court Offers applied protocols for a broad range of forensic investigations Augments theoretical constructs with recent, and relevant case studies and forensic reports Based on the most recent scientific research, practice, and protocols related to forensic inquiry, The terms forensic investigator and forensic investigation are part of our cultural identity.

- e***- (86)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFantastic experience all around! The transaction was fast and easy, with smooth communication every step of the way. The item arrived quickly, was securely packaged, and matched the description perfectly. Seller was responsive, helpful, and clearly cares about providing great service. One of the best eBay sellers I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with. 10 out of 10—highly recommended! Would absolutely buy from again without hesitation. Thanks so much!
- e***o (893)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. But a comment is in order about the tracking. Piss-poor! Labeled 'UPS', but delivered by USPS. The tracking says it's still on the way despite being delivered yesterday. Several "Delivery dates" were posted on their site, which came and went. The 'Contact information' said that calling them would yield nothing more than their site offered, which was nothing. So, pleased by the product and packaging, my only complaint being of the tracking.
- t***t (114)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipped quickly, well packed, and in advertised condition. It was listed as being in good condition and, other than a big crease in the back cover, the rest of the book was in very good condition so the description was accurate. I also bought another book from the seller and that one was better than advertised condition so this is a very good seller.
