CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION AND FORENSIC SCIENCE<br />
<strong>Criminal</strong> Investigation<br />
Third Edition<br />
Ronald Becker, JD, Chaminade University<br />
This introductory text takes an integrated<br />
approach to the investigative process. It explores<br />
how contributors to criminal investigation—<br />
and its resulting prosecution—are more<br />
effective when they understand and appreciate<br />
their role on the team, what role other team<br />
members play, and how it all comes together.<br />
Readers will learn how investigations are<br />
connected to a team that is much larger than<br />
those charged with the investigations of a crime.<br />
The end result is a solid foundation in criminal<br />
investigation.<br />
Key Features<br />
• New information on underwater<br />
investigations and CSI related topics<br />
including computer and internet based<br />
investigations and fingerprinting.<br />
• Coverage of the reorganization and<br />
updating of information related to Private<br />
Security investigations, such as background<br />
checks, surveillance, and retail-loss<br />
prevention.<br />
• Increased sections on terrorism discuss<br />
new topics such as asymmetric warfare and<br />
infrastructure vulnerability.<br />

security issues including explosives, weapons of<br />
mass destruction, and cybercrime.<br />

analysis of fingerprints and questioned<br />
