Practical Crime Scene Processing and Investigation (Practical Aspects of Criminal & Forensic Investigations) Review

I am forensic scientist who has qualified as a expert witness numerous times in numerous courts in both Firearms Examination and Crime Scene Investigation. I also teach Crime Scene Investigation at the collegiate level. I have used this text for the past four semesters and have been very satisfied with it. As an professor, I received teaching aids that went along with this book. Both the teaching aids and the book have been well received by my students (and have made other professors jealous). The students also comment on the case examples that are in the book and how these real examples help them to understand the topics better.

This book received one bad review on this website written by Boyd B. I must say I disagree with this bad review on many levels. The review criticizes the author for going into too much detail in bloodstain pattern analysis saying he takes a trigonmetric approach but lacks detail in other disciplines. Well the fact is, Mr. Gardner takes a similar approach to shooting reconstruction. Mr. Garner also goes into much detail in search patterns and crime scene sketching giving numerous examples of different approaches. His section on fingerprints is very good - especially when used as a field guide. The fact that Gardner goes into more detail in one of the most complex aspects of crime scene investigations (bloodstain pattern analysis) is a true testiment to his desire to make a difference in investigations.

You can certainly tell that Mr. Gardner has spent significant time in the field and gives a practical (as the title says) approach to crime scene investigation. I have used this book to teach college students and forensic scientists who are training in crime scenes and police officers. I highly recommend you read this book if you are looking to get into the field or just want to know more about crime scene investigation.

This text provides a one-source practical guide to basic crime scene processing and investigation. Although the author discusses theories and concepts of crime scene investigation, his primary goal is to provide a concise manual covering the how tos of crime scene processing. The book gives an overview of forensics, although it concentrates on processing. This includes procedures such as officer safety, emergency care to injured, securing and controlling the scene, search methods, scene documentation and photography, and more. The author introduces a tried and true 18-step crime scene processing methodology based on his experience in the field.
