Revue de presse

"What is extremely good about this book is that it poses a seriesof self assessment questions at the end of each topic and providesa comprehensive list of further reading. There is also anassociated website linked to this book on which are posted answersto the self assessment questions and high resolution images tosupport the text in the book. In summary this is an excellent textbook for undergraduate students and those about to start the roleof a Crime Scene Examiner without any prior knowledge of thesubject." ( Finger Print Whorld, March 2011)

"This is a very good basic introductory book which is wellwritten, practical, readable, and reliable, and would be valuableto the practitioner because its limited content focuses on areasregularly dealt with in the courts." (Law Society ofScotland, November 2009)
