Book Reviews of Criminal Investigation: Basic Perspectives (10th Edition)
Book Review: Some of the examples are old, out dated methods
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall, this text is not bad, although several instructional areas are out-dated material, ie: marking "shell casings, "bullets", on the face,etc. Also, todays training does not include marking handguns on every piece that can be removed, ie: frame, cylinder, barrel, grips, etc.
