Kidnapping (Crime Scene Investigations)

"A reference to the CSI TV programs springboards into finely detailed and illustrated chapters about various techniques required to solve a crime. This volume in the Crime Scene Investigations series focuses on finding evidence in the crime scene; interpreting that evidence under a microscope; using DNA, blood, bones, and impressions in laboratories; and then sharing that evidence effectively in the courtroom. Cursory references to famous cases, such as O.J. Simpson's and JonBenet Ramsey's, appear. The strength of this book, though, is its systematic, methodical approach, re-creating in words the pattern of how CSI workers solve murders. Generously sized, tinted sidebars and photos make these books as colorful as they are interesting to read and useful for research."

Describes how investigators use forensic sciences to solve kidnappings, from finding the victim to profiling the perpetrator.
