Criminal Investigation

This new Fourth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to integrate criminal investigation with forensic science and legal foundations. This comprehensive introductory text explores how contributors to criminal investigation--and its resulting prosecution--are more effective when they understand and appreciate their role on the team, what role other team members play, and how it all comes together. Readers will learn how investigations are connected to a team that is much larger than those charged with the investigations of a crime, which inlcudes first responders, forensic personnel, and prosecutors.

Every new printed copy is packaged with full student access code to the companion website featuring a rich variety of interactive study tools (eBook version does not include access to the student companion website. Standalone access can be purchased here http://www.jblearning.com/catalog/9781449650551/).
