Book Reviews of Techniques of Crime Scene Investigation (5th ed)
Book Review: Second Best Investigation Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't know why anyone would buy this book. Not that it's a bad book, it's pretty good, but there's a better book for the money. I had to read this book to take my department's detective exam. A few years later I had to read "Criminal Investigation" (Swanson) to take the Sergeant's exam. "Criminal Investigation" is far and away the better book. Three times bigger, more topics, more techniques, more illustrations, more up to date by two years, and eight dollars cheaper. Fisher better hope that police departments keep making his book required reading, or no one will have a reason to buy it. Sorry, Barry!
