Crime Scene Management: Scene Specific Methods - Tapa blanda

"Crime Scene Management: scene specific methods is an appropriate text for the targeted audience. I would recommend its use as a primer for first year undergraduate teaching in forensic science, crime scene management and criminology." (Reviews, December 2010) "This is a very good basic introductory book which is well written, practical, readable and reliable... Of significant interest to all who deal with criminal cases." (The Journal Online, November 2009) "This is a very good basic introductory book which is well written, practical, readable, and reliable, and would be valuable to the practitioner because its limited content focuses on areas regularly dealt with in the courts." (Law Society of Scotland, November 2009)
