To Be a Crime Scene Investigator

If the devil's in the details, then the crime scene investigator's got him: conducting searches, collecting evidence, photographing, scrutinizing, analyzing-pursuing the culprit right down to the last scrap of proof. Whether you'd like to become a crime scene investigator or you'd like simply to see what it takes to become one, look no further than To Be a Crime Scene Investigator. Author Henry M. Holden traces the path crime scene investigators follow as they learn and ply their trade. His behind-the-scenes look takes us from application to training, crime scene to lab. Holden reveals the fine points of securing, examining, and processing evidence; identifying victims; reenacting the crime; conducting police lineups and interviews; administering polygraphs; and analyzing forensics and evidence.
