75% OF THE MATERIAL IS REVISED AND EXPANDED!
Virtually all of the chapters from the second edition have
been updated in the new Third Edition. The chapters on sex-related
homicide investigation and criminal profiling have been greatly
expanded, enabling the investigator to recognize the different
classifications of sex-related death to make an early assessment
of possible suspects. New chapters deal with sensitive psychological
issues such as death notification of the surviving families
of homicide victims and the dynamics of suicide. Scientific
advances in areas such as DNA technology are addressed. For
the benefit of police administrators, the chapter on management
has been restructured to provide guidance on the makeup and
mission of the homicide investigative unit. This chapter
also includes a section on putting together an Apprehension
Team for arresting homicide fugitives.
480 PHOTOGRAPHS AND ILLUSTRATIONS, 24 FULL-COLOR INSERTS,
AND 90 CASE STUDIES!
The book includes numerous photographs, illustrations, and
case studies depicting exactly what to look for and how to
interpret a crime scene. New photographs of wound structure
and injury aid the investigator in properly assessing the
mode of death. The 24 color photographs graphically illustrate
morphologic changes in the decomposing human body, and include
examples of defense wounds, insect infestation, lividity,
and wound structure. "Before and after" photographs
of crime scenes treated with Luminol and victims treated
with Toluidine blue illustrate the use of these chemicals
in making invisible evidence visible to the naked eye.
