Review By: Debbie Brewer,    - April 3, 2006
“I liked the way the book speaks directly to the students in a clear and professional way. While you don’t minimize the work and skills that students need to be successful in a career in forensics, you do show that it is within their reach, if they are willing to rise to the occasion. The anecdotal stories are clear, brief, and to the point.” Debbie Brewer, Teacher Lumen Christi High School, Anchorage, Alaska

Review By: Jeanette Hencken,   The Forensic Teacher - September 1, 2006

This text is an excellent reference for any forensic science teacher or student. The 28 chapter text is divided into two parts. Part one is twelve chapters of background information on forensic science careers. Part two is sixteen chapters that describe information that can be obtained from different types of physical evidence. The Instructor’s Companion CD includes PowerPoint presentations, sample test questions, student handouts, case profiles, classroom discussion ideas, research projects, student labs, and field trip ideas.

There are a great number of crime scene images within the PowerPoint presentations that are useful for illustrating and emphasizing various concepts in forensic science. Photographs included are of crime scene processing techniques, various types of physical evidence and equipment used in testing evidence. Some of the photographs are of a graphic nature due to the content.

The Instructor’s Companion CD includes many ideas for getting students interested in forensic science and involved in researching and investigating various areas of science. There are very good Internet sites suggested for student research and interactive participation in many of the chapters. The case studies, class discussions and suggestions for field trips and speakers really add depth to the materials covered in the text.

The text has a great deal of information and ideas that would be valuable in any science teachers library. In addition, any teacher would benefit from the pictures in the PowerPoints. They are photos from actual crime scene work that Henry Lee has done. I think the handwriting examples shown in the Questioned Documents chapter are great examples of the different types of comparisons that may be done.
