Crime scene investigation isn't an academic, cut-and-dry process. There is no set of ideal procedures that universally applies to all crime scene processing.

Isn't it time for a textbook that reflected that?

So You Want to be a CSI? presents Crime Scene Investigation as students would encounter it in the real world, where inclement weather, poor scene security, lack of proper equipment and packing materials, and rodent-invested crime scenes all impact the role of the CSI. It combines the expertise of its three authors, who have 45 years of combined crime scene investigation experience, to prepare students for the field, dismantling the myths of the profession created by television shows and the media. Chapters include four overarching, fundamental topics: Before Entering the Crime Scene, Biological Evidence, Crime Scene Photography, and Crime Scene Search.

So You Want to be a CSI? not only provides a foundation for future crime scene investigators, but it also authentically explains the daily challenges and rewards of this fascinating career.

In addition, there is also a virtual component available consisting of virtual crime scenes that allow students to put course concepts into practice.

Acerca del autor

Susan Clutter received a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Clark University and a Master’s Degree in Forensic Science from the George Washington University. She worked as a CSI for the Montgomery County and Baltimore City Police Departments in MD before becoming a college professor in 2003. She has taught at various colleges in the Maryland and Virginia area, and has taught forensic courses for the Virginia Fire Marshal Academy and the State Department. Her specialty areas include Crime Scene Investigation, Blood Pattern Interpretation, and Fire Science. Susan is now an Associate Professor in the Forensic Science program at Youngstown State University. She has one 16 year old son and a very bossy corgi.

Dr. Leggie [Leh ‘jee] Boone is a Forensic Analyst for a sheriff’s office in Florida. She has been involved in forensic sciences since 1993, including overlapping years as a crime scene investigator and educator in Baltimore, Maryland. Crime Scene Investigation found her shortly after completing her Bachelor’s degree in Biology, while she worked toward her initial journey: Veterinary Science. As a civilian investigator, she learned her city, her law enforcement family, and self-reliance in coping with the tragedies of criminal violations daily. Sometimes, that method of decompression included writing songs, writing poetry, or dreaming graphically detailed dreams and journaling them. When her daughter was born, she left the hectic schedule of being a Forensic Services Supervisor, pharmacy assistant, and adjunct professor to teach full-time. Teaching high school and college sciences inspired the pursuit of her Master’s degree in Forensic Science. In 2008, she moved to Florida where she returned to crime scenes and was recruited to become a Forensic Analyst with her current agency. She has also been active in her community through the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and NAACP memberships, and affiliation with multiple civic organizations. Boone attained her Ph.D. and Master of Philosophy in Public Policy and Administration, in Criminal Justice, with the goal of improving policies and curricula in collegiate forensic sciences and law enforcement agency crime scene investigation training. Through it all, she is still dreaming vividly with plans to produce volumes for interpretation, enlightenment or entertainment. She is inspired by the constant support of her mother and daughter, both named Leggie, and is driven by her faith to be an author, a leader, and an agent of social change.
