Charles E. O'Hara, Gregory L. O'Hara
C.C. Thomas, 2003
This is the guidline of investigations
Anyone in law enforcement knows this book - and hates the fact they should read it!
This is one of those necessary evils...something you have to read, but wish you didn't. the information is solid, stands the test of time, and it is one ofthe best and most comprehensive investigation books avaiable.
Make sure you get the study guide also!

Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations, Third Edition 8 reviews
Bill Nelson, Amelia Phillips, ...
Course Technology, 2007
Just ok...
As a new examiner, I found this book somewhat useful, but I thought the book was edited horribly. It looks to me as though the publisher hired an English major to edit a Computer Forensics book... too bad... If the authors read these reviews... switch editors... maybe even publishers if it's possible... switch to more mainstream tools for your examples... re-edit before releasing a second ...

Kirk's Fire Investigation (6th Edition) (Brady Fire)4 reviews
John D. De Haan
Prentice Hall, 2006
Excellent
The latest Kirks is much more in line with the 921. This is great for test-takers that are studying for certification, CEU's etc. Was very confusing to study such varying differences in information. The 6th edition and recent revision of 921 are now an easier mesh.

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2008
The best in a long line of boring criminal justice books!!!
This book is by far one of the best of the criminal justice books that I have ever read. If it wasn't required reading for my Criminal Investigations class, I just might have picked it up and read it on my own. This book is one of the most interesting and easy to read books that has ever been required reading. The photography in the text helps with the topics in the reading much more than ...

Aircraft Accident Investigation - 2nd Edition3 reviews
Richard H. Wood
Endeavor Books, 2006
Continues to be the seminal work on this topic.
The science of aircraft accident investigation is a very small field (and hopefully getting smaller every year!) but this book continues to be an important textbook for the practice of accident investigation. Well worth a read, if you need knowledge in this area.

Crime Scene Investigations: Real-Life Science Labs For Grades 6-129 reviews
Pam Walker, Elaine Wood
Jossey-Bass, 1998
Easy to Use
I teach a ton of forensics in my high school science classes and wasn't sure if this book would provide me with new ideas, but it did. I ordered this at the end of the school year and was able to use some of the activities to keep the kids occupied during the last days before exams. The activities I have used so far are super easy to use and kept the kids really engaged.

Practical Homicide Investigation, Fourth Edition24 reviews
Vernon J. Geberth
CRC, 2006
A Morbid Classic!
Talk about a disturbing book. This one will probably give you nightmares if you haven't desensitized yourself to violence yet. If your denial mechanism is in disrepair, you'd probably be best to avoid this book which is the "Bible" of crime scene investigation techniques. Extremely graphic photographs of murder and suicide victims along with a compelling forensic text with such chapters as 'The ...

Criminal Investigation: A Method for Reconstructing the Past2 reviews
James W. Osterburg
LexisNexis, 2007
A Solid Text on Criminal Investigation
The text is divided into four sections with thirty chapters. New in this edition is a chapter on automobile theft. Earlier editions of the book were required reading for the International Association for Identification's crime scene certification course and I expect that will continue to be true with this edition. The third edition continues to be bound in paperback which was one my main ...
