Description
Forensic Studies introduces
the student to the fascinating field of crime scene
investigations, or CSI. The text begins with crime
scene search, investigation, and documentation. Then
following a typical investigative path, chapters
examine fingerprints and other evidence, including:
trace, biological, DNA, impressions, and firearms.
Additional chapters include questioned documents,
computer crimes, and drugs. There is an extensive
chapter on forensic toxicology, entomology, botany,
anthropology, and odontology. The final chapters
include arson investigations, the court system and
testimony, death investigations, and career
opportunities.
