Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Renowned for being the definitive source of homicide investigation, Practical Homicide Investigation: Tactics, Procedures, and Forensic Techniques emphasizes essential procedures, combines detailed techniques with instructive case studies, and outlines the foundation on which to build a solid, prosecutable case. The book features two new chapters along with major revisions of those from the previous edition. In addition it contains 675 photos and illustrations - including 300 new entries that incorporate depictions of wound structures and procedures that portray exactly what to do and how to do it. All illustrations are presented in full color, including new medical-legal drawings for instruction and courtroom testimony.

Book News Annotation:

Homicide and forensic consultant Geberth, a former New York City detective, presents the new edition of his "best practice" investigation guide for the homicide professional, updating the text to account for new forensic techniques and investigative procedures. He has organized the information to mirror the course of a typical homicide investigation from initial notification to police through the procedural steps of a proper investigation, including the crime scene search, estimation of time of death, identification of the deceased, death notifications, collection of evidence, the autopsy, news media policy, identification of suspects, criminal personality profiling, and supervision and management issues. The new edition includes two new chapters on the application of DNA technology and equivocal death investigations, those investigations involving staged crime scenes or a lack of determination of homicide or suicide. He incorporates illustrative case material, including photographs, throughout the text. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This fourth edition presents the latest information on DNA analysis and the latest assessment of crime scene reconstruction principles. It offers updated information on crime scene processing, including new blood enhancement reagents and current constitutional law, and contains new serial murder cases and a revised chapter on profiling, also with a new case. All of the illustrations are now presented in full color, including new medical-legal drawings for instruction and courtroom testimony.
