Real-Life Case Scenario Provides PracticalApplication of ConceptsOne failing of many forensic science textbooks is the isola-tion of chapters into compartmentalized units. This formatprevents students from understanding the connectionbetween material learned in previous chapters with that ofthe current chapter. Using a unique format, A Hands-OnIntroduction to Forensic Science: Cracking the Caseapproaches the topic of forensic science from a real-lifeperspective in a way that these vital connections areencouraged and established.
The book utilizes an ongoing fictional narrative through-out, entertaining students as it provides hands-on learningin order to “crack the case.” As two investigators try tosolve a missing persons case, each succeeding chapterreveals new characters, new information, and new physi-cal evidence to be processed. A full range of topics are cov-ered, including processing the crime scene, lifting prints,trace and blood evidence, DNA and mtDNA sequencing,ballistics, skeletal remains, and court testimony. Followingthe storyline, students are introduced to the appropriatescience necessary to process the physical evidence, includ-ing math, physics, chemistry, and biology.
The final element of each chapter includes a series of cost-effective, field-tested lab activities that train students inprocessing, analyzing, and documenting the physical evi-dence revealed in the narrative. Practical and realistic in itsapproach, this book enables students to understand howforensic science operates in the real world.
Features:
• Utilizes an ongoing fictional narrative throughoutthe book supplemented with color photos andreview questions
• Entertains students as it provides hands-on learningin order to “crack the case”
• Incorporates all the foundational sciences essential toan understanding of forensic science, includingmath, physics, chemistry, and biology
• Presents cost-effective, field-tested lab activities forschools that have restricted budgets
• Culminates in a mock trial where the students testifyas experts and a jury of their classmates renders averdict

FingerprintAnalysisLaboratoryWorkbookHillary Moses DaluzChaminade University ofHonolulu, Hawaii, USA
Fingerprint analysis may beperformed as part of manyjob functions, includingcrime scene technician,latent print examiner, criminalist, latent print techni-cian, forensic specialist, and forensic scientist.Regardless of one’s chosen career path in the forensicworld, background knowledge of scientific practices iscritical for success. The best way to comprehend theprinciples and concepts of any science learned in aclassroom is to perform experiments.
The sequence of workbook exercises and labs in theFingerprint Analysis Laboratory Workbook isdesigned to parallel the Fundamentals of FingerprintAnalysis textbook. The textbook chapters align withthe laboratory exercises, so for example, the laborato-ry exercises in Lab #13 correspond to the topics cov-ered in Chapter 13 of the textbook. Many of the lab-oratory exercises may be completed either at home orin a laboratory setting. This workbook addresses allaspects of fingerprint theory, investigation, process-ing, comparisons, and research in an accessible for-mat.

Advanced CrimeScenePhotographySecond EditionChristopher D. DuncanCrime Scene Investigator,Houston, Texas, USA
The ability to thoroughly andaccurately photograph acrime scene is a mandate forall investigators, regardless ofthe time of day, weather conditions, and/or confines inwhich a piece of evidence is concealed. Evidence is com-monly found in some of the most difficult to access andphotograph locations, so possessing the knowledge andskills necessary to photograph evidence in less thanaccommodating environments is essential.
Advanced Crime Scene Photography, Second Editionseamlessly integrates basic photography principles withcorresponding applications in crime scene photography.Providing tips on creating compelling photos on a limit-ed budget, it demonstrates how to photograph impres-sions, tool and bite marks, and bloodstain patterns. Italso examines nighttime, low-light, and flash photogra-phy; painting with light techniques; the photography ofLuminol reactions; laser trajectories; and ultraviolet andinfrared light photography.

The book explores impression/pattern evidence,including fingerprints, bloodstains, footwear impres-sions, and tire track impressions; trace evidence,including glass, paint, and soil; and biological and bal-listics evidence. It also discusses the Principle ofDivisible Matter and the Locard Exchange Principle:every touch leaves a trace.

Crime SceneProcessing andLaboratoryWorkbookPatrick Jones and Ralph E. WilliamsPurdue University, WestLafayette, Indiana, USA
The most important part of aCSI’s (crime scene investiga-tor’s) job is accurate docu-mentation of properly col-lected evidence. Documentation tells the story of thecrime and can ultimately prove a suspect guilty.Through an array of specific exercises and actual doc-ument templates used in practice, Crime SceneProcessing and Laboratory Workbook teaches stu-dents the proper physical evidence collection and pro-cessing techniques which will enable them to masterthe skills necessary to become a proficient CSI.
Building on prior knowledge and facilitating hands-onexperience, this laboratory manual allows students topractice the methods, procedures, and techniquesassociated with forensic science, crime scene investi-gation, documentation, and evidence handling. It fol-lows a single hypothetical case to show each of theinvestigative techniques in the context of a real crime.The text presents over 20 separate exercises that alter-nate between investigating physical evidence specificto the crime scene and evidence specific to the labo-ratory. The book also provides useful forms, includingthe laboratory submission request, that duplicate real-world experience and demonstrate how to properlycollect, record, and submit evidence.

“This book is a great reference ... . The role of thelegal nurse consultant is clearly spelled out and isdescribed in multiple settings. The sections onAdministrative Health Care Law (especially Fraudand the Life Care Planner sections) are well writtenwith adequate detail. The online references includedwith each chapter are very valuable. The section onAmbulatory Care is very good as well. The examplesof patients in the ED are great. One of the bestthings about this book is the review of common alle-gations and the deposition transcripts. This reallygives the students a feel for the process and what toexpect.
