Crime Scene: The Ultimate Guide to Forensic Science

by Richard Platt

Crime Scene: The Ultimate Guide to Forensic Science Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Revealing the very latest high-tech techniques of forensic detection, "Crime Scene" uses case studies and amazing digital imagery to show how science uncovers the truth about how crimes were committed and who carried them out. Full color.

Book News Annotation:

Television writer and consultant Platt writes for the lay reader, explaining the scientific methods and procedures involved in investigating crimes. He describes such techniques as psychological profiling, DNA analysis, fingerprinting, and the review of autopsy reports. Difficult concepts are clarified with examples drawn from newsworthy cases, as well as plenty of color photographs and diagrams. The science is rather thin, but many of the illustrations are excellent. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
