    This text presents the fundamentals of criminal investigation and provides a sound method for reconstructing a past event (i.e., a crime) based on three major sources of information—people, physical evidence and records. More than a simplistic introductory text, yet written in an easy-to-read, user-friendly format, it offers a broad approach to criminal investigation.

    Updates to this edition include reorganization of the material into three sections, the merging of some chapters, and a new chapter on “Increasing Threats and Emerging Crime.”
