The Crime Scene

The Crime Scene: A Visual Guide, 2nd Edition, provides direct visual instruction on the correct procedures for processing forensic crime scenes. Its primary purpose is to help readers identify proper field methods through clear visual examples.

The volume addresses fundamental investigation techniques, documentation types, evidence collection, and scene reconstruction. It highlights that primary, secondary, and tertiary scenes all demand uniform handling to protect trace evidence from disturbance before items are removed for laboratory testing.

To reinforce these principles, the guide presents side-by-side photographic comparisons of proper and improper practices. Online companion resources supply additional instructional materials, including video clips and animations.
