Excellent resource that is accessible to students. Case examples bring the subject to life. Will consider as supplemental reading on our 'complex criminal investigations' module for the MSc programme.
From the off this book enabled me to bring more lessons to life. The case studies and detail was enough to help me plan the time I spend building lessons better enabling much more inclusive and involved classes. The fact that one text book can help the lessons so easily is great. I will be recommending this to all and sundry for their use.
Well done and the added website offers some choice areas for both the students and the teachers. Added content that you dont need to search too hard for is always a bonus.
A very well written and inclusive text-book that is easy to read. Excellent case studies demonstrating both theoretical and practical application in practice.
I hadn't realised that this was based on American law and policies and not the UK. therefore this is not suitable for me or my students.
Great book!! I love the investigation cases at the beginning of each chapter. I will be using these as assignments.
The book gives a good overview of the processes involved during criminal investigations. A large range of case studies are used to demonstrates how theory is put into practice. The book includes some great points for discussion in class.
I liked the information and graphics.
