According to the book description of
Criminal Investigation, “Widely recognized as the most accurate and comprehensive text in
the field, this practical, step-by-step introduction to criminal investigation gives students a logical framework for understanding
the investigative process. Major sections cover current issues such as environmental crime, the looting of archaeological
sites, videotaping of crime scenes, street gangs, and drugs. Case studies throughout the text emphasize the applied technique
of criminal investigation. Graphs, charts, and arresting photographs found throughout the text depict the practical aspects
of investigation and help to clarify difficult scientific concepts. The tenth edition has been significantly updated with
new content to reflect new statistical data, technology, procedures, and law.
One reader of Criminal
Investigation said, “This book is on the reading list for Massachusetts Civil Service Promotional Exams.
I found it to be fascinating, as did most of my colleagues. You name the crime, and this book will show you step by step how
to find the evidence, and how to properly handle it when you do find it. Full of diagrams and illustrations to make every
concept crystal clear and graphic photos of some heinous crime scenes.
One reader of Criminal
Investigation said, “This book is by far one of the best of the criminal justice books that I have ever
read. If it wasn't required reading for my Criminal Investigations class, I just might have picked it up and read it on my
own. This book is one of the most interesting and easy to read books that has ever been required reading. The photography
in the text helps with the topics in the reading much more than in any other books I've read. Though a bit gruesome, the photos
are of great quality and only help the book that much more.”
According to the book description
of the 7th edition of Police Administration, “The best-selling, most comprehensive
book available for police administration & management, Police Administration 7/e presents a carefully researched and vivid
introduction to police organizations that focuses on the procedures, politics and human relations issues that law enforcement
managers and administrators must understand in order to succeed. Representing the collective experience of the authors' decades
of experience in law enforcement, training, and teaching, Police Administration 7/e is recognized by both the academic and
law enforcement communities as the authoritative treatment of this important topic.”
