Book Review: Science Vs. Crime
Two national standards leap to mind that this book can help you address. One is the concept that evidence does not mean proof. The other is that changing technology to detect crime and to commit crime go hand in hand. The text is colorful with photos and diagrams that are easy to understand. Several features break up the pages. The book provides a good basic overview of forensics, its current status, and future challenges.
