Reviews"...the author does a good job of explaining and putting things in lay reader's terms". ( Library Journal , June 15, 2003), These two books offer very different treatments of the popular subject of forensic science. Investigator Anastasi applies the term to the field of white-collar crime, providing an in-depth look at several real-life case studies of forensic investigations of corporate and intellectual property crimes. While not exactly the same as the "blood and guts" forensic work that we see portrayed in today's popular culture, these cases -of fraud, trade secret theft, and other security breaches -are nevertheless very interesting. Anastasi has written one of the first books dealing with this "new" forensics, a field destined to become more popular, especially as the avenues of white-collar crime expand with the Internet. Although the book is riddled with technical computer lingo, the author does a good job of explaining and putting things in lay reader's terms. Taking a more traditional approach to the subject, Platt, author of many science books for DK, presents a brief summary of the better-known aspects of forensic science. Replete with many wonderful color photos and illustrations, this short text includes chapters ranging from "At the Crime Scene" and "Human Identification" to "Lethal Agents" and "Crime Without Corpses," including some of the types of crimes covered in the Anastasi book. A four-page time line of breakthroughs in forensic science and a two-page glossary of subject terms conclude the volume. Wile Anastasi's book is recommended for large public libraries and academic libraries serving criminal justice programs, Platt's is recommended for high school and public libraries. --Sara Jent, Univ. of Louisville Lib.

SynopsisPraise for The New Forensics "Joe Anastasi's The New Forensics is a timely book that addresses some of today's crucial issues. He describes in fascinating detail how our national security is dependent, in part, on computers analyzing raw data collected by communication satellites. But the main thrust of the book is the story of how [forensic investigators using] computers today can detect fraud and other corporate criminal activities. The facts of Enron, WorldCom, and the other major scams are carefully laid out as is the arrogance of the major actors. The real value of the book, however, is not in the explanations given, but rather in the moral issues it raises. It is a tale of contrasts the stunning achievement of science in uncovering vast webs of criminal activities and the shocking revelation of human greed and corruption at the highest corporate levels." Honorable Charles Renfrew former U.S. District Judge and Deputy Attorney General of the United States "Never have financial scams been more sophisticated, or more expensive, than in corporate America at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The struggle to uncover fraud and restore integrity to 'the numbers' is Joe Anastasi's theme this gripping account gets you behind the headlines, and into the heart of today's number one corporate issue." Mark Radke former Chief of Staff of the Securities Exchange Commission Georgetown University Law Center adjunct professor and partner at the firm of Howrey Simon Arnold & White, LLP "The New Forensics shows readers just how clearly modern-day footprints captured by technology beat old-fashioned handprints in solving corporate crime. Anastasi captures the intrigue, the drama, and the heat of investigative pursuit so vividly, it brought back fond memories of my days as an SEC enforcement attorney." Laura S. Unger CNBC Regulatory Expert, former SEC Commissioner and Acting Chairman, An in-depth look at the tools, techniques, and tactics used in computer forensics The New Forensics introduces readers to the world of business forensics, using interesting vignettes, interviews, and actual crime reports. It examines recent cases in which the use of computer forensics led to evidence linking executives to fraud and covers issues such as the theft of trade secrets, the use of data mining, money laundering, and other types of theft and fraud. Author Joe Anastasi, a well-respected leader in computer and business forensics, leads the reader on a shadowy journey through top-secret government offices and real-life business investigations while covering the moral and legal issues surrounding corporate crime. Case studies, stories, and interviews help highlight important issues and move the book out of the theoretical into the realm of actual practice. Joe Anastasi (San Francisco, CA) serves as the Global Leader for Deloitte Forensics, which includes the operation of several Cybercrime Computer Forensics labs located around the world. He is a member of the High-Tech Crime Investigation Association and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners., An in-depth look at the tools, techniques, and tactics used in computer forensics The New Forensics introduces readers to the world of business forensics, using interesting vignettes, interviews, and actual crime reports.
