An impressive team of experts covers just about every aspect of criminal investigation in this fascinating volume. The wide ranging descriptions of issues and concepts are brought to life with accounts of the personal experiences of operational detectives, making this an important resource for everyone from students of criminal and forensic investigation to trainee police officers.Professor David CanterDirector, International Research Centre for Investigative Psychology This book is a must read for any serious student of criminal and forensic investigation. The detailed theory is skilfully brought to life through case studies and examples of practical application, which give an excellent insight into the mechanics and complexity of investigating serious and major crime. Highly recommended.Heidi OliverRetired Detective Inspector, Hampshire Constabulary CID and Major Crime Department A superb investigation of the investigators. Any student, of any experience, wanting to know about the latest ways of reducing the fallibility of humans in divining the ′truth′ of a possible crime should read this book. You are taken step by step through the stages of investigation and given a thorough test of your prejudices.Dr Simon BrambleHead of Police Science & Forensics, Home Office
