The revised fifth edition of the Fundamentals of Criminal Investigation. From the introduction: "From its inception, the aim of this book has been to bring the reader to an intermediate level of attainment in the main branches of investigation from which they may be able to proceed, with the help of other literature and by experience, to the specialized fields of crime detection or non-criminal inquiry." Using this book may help students by-pass months of aimless apprenticeship by learning the significant and application of the basic tools of investigation: Information, Interrogation, and Instrumentation. A good start in a career of investigaton.
