The recent National Research Council's report on forensic science calls for more fundamental education and training in the science behind the discipline. Nowhere is this need greater than in crime scene investigations. Long seen as merely "bagging and tagging," crime scene investigation and processing is now a complex process, involving numerous sciences and methods. The Science of Crime Scenes addresses the science behind the scenes and demonstrates the latest methods and technologies in depth.
The Science of Crime Scenes covers the philosophy of crime scenes as historical events, the personnel involved at a scene (including the media), the detection of criminal traces and their reconstruction, and special crime scenes, such as mass disasters and terroristic events. Written by an international trio of authors with decades of crime scene experience, The Science of Crime Scenes is the next generation of crime scene textbooks.

Review
"The Science of Crime Scenes is a good reference for the crime scene investigator. It incorporates excellent tables, charts, and illustrations which can be a great aid when processing a scene…It does a good job in describing the total spectrum of factors which can impact crime scenes and provides the reader with the necessary knowledge and tools to successfully evaluate and process the scene of a crime." --Journal of Forensic Sciences, July 2013
"The text provides in-depth detail of the science behind the scene and demonstrates the latest methods and technologies - as well as the philosophy and history behind crime scene work." --Evidence Technology Magazine, July-August 2013
"…The Science of Crime Scenes is a good reference for the crime scene investigator. It incorporates excellent tables, charts, and illustrations which can be a great aid when processing a scene." --Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2013
"…The Science of Crime Scenes fits well within the framework of crime scene training and documents the nuances of the challenging tasks required of these specialized personnel. This reviewer’s recommendation is that forensic laboratories add The Science of Crime Scenes to their training literature, and allow analysts to garner invaluable insight from the highly experienced trio of authors." --Crime Scene, Volume 39, Issue 2, Spring 2013
"A half century has not dimmed skeptics' suspicions about the death of Marilyn Monroe at age 36, but the intervening decades have seen technological leaps that could alter the investigation were it to occur today… ‘The good news is we're very advanced from 50 years ago,’ said Max Houck, a forensic consultant and co-author of ‘The Science of Crime Scenes.’ ‘The bad news is, we're still trying to put it in context,’ he said." --Associated Press article on the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death carried on multiple publications and sites incuding CBSNews.com

The first complete text on the subject
By Gene P. Lawrence
In nearly 20 years in the field of forensic science and crime scene investigation, this is the first book I have run across that I consider a complete treatise on the subject of forensic crime scene investigation. Most text books on the subject are very narrowly focused for a particular audience. There are plenty of books aimed at homicide detectives, for example. This book is written by three of the top scientists in the field worldwide. Their collective experience is displayed in the organization of the book. This book takes the reader through all the steps of a crime scene from beginning to the courtroom. The authors explain the roles and responsibilities of all personnel at a scene, from the first responder to the lead investigator and the forensic scientist. They have even included chapters on dealing with the media.
The book is divided into sections and organized in a very logical manner. Sections for crime scene management, crime scene processing, evidence, reconstruction, and special scenes (mass casualty, WMD, terrorist attacks), from front to back, paint a complete picture of how crime scenes are processed. As a crime lab manager, and having spent my scientific career as a trace evidence scientist and crime scene reconstructionist, I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a complete picture of the process of crime scene analysis, from the field to the laboratory and beyond. And, to anyone with the responsibility of training a new forensic scientist, this book should be required reading.

Not or law enforcement alone
By Amazon Customer
I picked up this book as a reference book because I'm a writer and not in law enforcement. . It was easy reading, very simple to understand and is very well organized. The book is valuable to any want-to-be crime-or-mystery writer, as well as professionals, for whom it's obviously written. The authors have excellent credentials so should know what they're talking about. .
