Evidence and Investigation: From the Crime Scene to the Courtroom, 2nd Edition
Instructor Review Copy

There's a newer edition of this product available: Evidence and Investigation: From the Crime Scene to the Courtroom, 3rd Edition

Evidence and Investigation: From the Crime Scene to the Courtroom, 2nd Edition

Kerry Watkins, Gail Anderson, Vincenzo Rondinelli, Warren Bulmer
Out of Print

The second edition of Evidence and Investigation is an up-to-date guide for readers seeking the technical and practical knowledge needed to effectively handle evidence from the crime scene to the courtroom. The author team draws on their decades of real-world experience in criminal investigation and forensic science to provide a thorough overview of the different types of evidence, how that evidence can be used, and the laws that govern it.

Modern day investigations are complex, but this text has readers covered with information on recognizing, gathering, preserving, and presenting evidence, as well as protocols for avoiding factors that often contribute to errors during an investigation. The text also touches on relevant legal, scientific, and academic perspectives to provide a well-rounded understanding of various investigative practices and outcomes.

This comprehensive resource will provide evidence-based training and education that is essential to anyone in a career in law enforcement or private investigation.
