We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The crime scene: a visual guide" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Crime Scene: A Visual Guide provides visual instruction on the correct way to process a crime scene. While the primary crime scene comprises the area from which most of the physical evidence is retrieved by crime scene investigators (CSIs), forensic scientists, or law enforcement personnel, this book also covers secondary and often tertiary crime scenes, all locations where there is the potential for the recovery of evidence.

By using photographs and other diagrams to show proper and improper procedures, the reader will learn how to identify the correct principles required to process a scene. The book presents chapters on the investigation, the varying types of documentation, and the tactics used to connect events through crime scene reconstruction using evidence

The books authors have a combined experience of over 70 years in crime scene investigation as primary responders and consultants giving testimony in all levels of the U.S. court system. In...

Dedication

Marilyn T. Miller

As I look through the many book offerings in crime scene investigation I never cease to be amazed. I will never believe that one television series is responsible for the explosion of interest in crime scene investigation. I believe it is a public awakening centered on using physical evidence and not just solving a case by confession or eyewitnesses. The explosion has helped keep me working with amazing crime scene professionals and equally amazing students who cannot wait to get the job done! I dedicate this text book to those professionals and students. Thank you for wanting to learn and to always do the best job they can do. This textbook is the result of a war storytelling session with Pete. On my goodness, how I treasure our friendship! Patience and pride from home is important too! So, to home, thanks for the space and I hope to always make you proud.

Peter Massey

We have spent countless hours teaching and training students and professionals the proper and correct way in which to recognize, evaluate, document, and collect evidence from forensic scenes. It is for those past students and those who will follow that drive the passion to offer this book. To my children, Emily, Abigail, Rebecca, and Zacharyyou are never too old to grow and learnand to give back. To Brooke and Sharon thank you for your contributions. Marilynmere words cannot express my love and respect for you, and for your support and guidance throughout our friendship. To my best friend, soul mate, and absolute love of my life, my wife Sandy, thank you for all of your support and sacrifices for me.

Foreword

I appreciate the opportunity to introduce this new textbook on crime scene investigation and procedures by a pair of authors who have long and varied theoretical and practical experience in this area. This book emphasizes the visualprinciples are highlighted and discussed using crime scene visuals as centerpieces. This approach follows the idea that the use of visuals with text is a more effective instructional tool than text alonean idea with considerable support in the learning techniques literature.

The book is divided into three parts, each containing several chapters. , Concluding Processes, we learn about reconstruction activities, current technologies, and some concluding remarks by the authors.

looks at initial procedures. Highlights here include the actions of first responders and initial scene survey and security implementation. Multilevel scene security procedures insure that the core scene is properly protected while still providing work and staging areas for authorized personnel.

In discusses searching for evidence at the scene. There are different methods of searching, applicable to different scenes and circumstances. But as noted, the key to thorough searches is a consideration of the overall scene and circumstances. Specialized lighting and other equipment or specialized chemicals may also be helpful or necessary. In recent years, laboratory analytical methods have gotten more and more sensitive. This development makes it necessary for crime scene investigators to don protective clothing and footwear to keep any of their own traces from contaminating the scene (as well as to protect them from any potentially hazardous materials within the scene).

is a recap of the crime scene process emphasizing important principles. This thinking hearkens back to the uses of physical evidence discussed earlier. To be useful to the case, the physical evidence must have probative value, i.e., it must be able to tell investigators something relevant about the case.

Each chapter is complete with learning objectives and discussion questions. Overall, the book is an outstanding introduction to crime scene investigation. The visual approach, which is novel, should be helpful to practicing and aspiring crime scene investigators on many levels, and will be an important pedagogic addition to the crime scene investigation literature.

Preface

Crime scene investigation is about details and experience. Crime scene investigation skills are learned by doing and trying. But how do you get the skills and experience without actually working a crime scene? There are many fine textbooks out there that address the issue of crime scene investigationsome are just about the scene and some are about the scene and the laboratory testing of the evidence from the scene. So, why yet another book on crime scene investigation? This textbook is different, it briefly describes and then puts the visual experience in the face of the user. Blooms taxonomy of learning shows that students learn better when they can visualize and then apply the skills while hearing new topics or ideas. This text provides the visual aspect of learning crime scene investigation. The application of skills should follow for the student. This text does not address the hands-on learningthere are other texts for that purpose.
