Crime is an ever present problem in our society. We read it in the newspapers, hear it over the radio and see it on the television. Have you ever wondered how a crime is solved? The yellow police tape and tv programs are cool but how is a crime solved besides the way we see it in the news? Our answer has come in this text which unvails beore us the tools of the trade in unraveling the physical mystery of crime. Forensic Science in its clear and concise prose takes us step by step through the physical processes use to solve crime scenes. I was fascinated by the technology and various disciplines used in obtaining and interpreting the physical evidence. Forensic science covers a multiplicity of discipline such as biology, medicine, etc. and applies them to the legal field. Forensic evidence can't be changed and in most cases can be the final nail in bringing a criminal to justice. If you share a curiosity regarding how crimes are solved in a detailed manner, this book is the one for you. It gives a broad general view of the discipline and makes us appreciative of the wide ranging team of law enforcement professionals who work in concert to solve baffling crimes through the use of science.
