Crime Scene
Have you ever wondered if you’d make a good investigator?
Open the covers of Crime Scene, get behind the yellow
tape, and find out what it takes to nab the bad guys.
Groundbreaking for its time in 1997 and winner of the Canadian
Science Writers’ Association Book Award, Crime
Science is refreshed and updated in a new edition for
today’s CSI enthusiasts as Crime Scene. This
book takes you to the scene of the crime, into the crime
lab, and into the heads of investigators. You’ll get
a chance to hone your sleuthing skills with Clue Ins. You’ll
find Case Files describing how police solve crimes and catch
criminals: some as real as the latest police report, some
made up of details from several true-crime cases.
Vivien Bowers clearly explains the whys and hows of connecting
clues, suspects, and victims. Crime sleuths need to be smart,
patient, and determined. Investigators search crime scenes
bit by bit for evidence to send back to the lab. In the
lab, forensic scientists probe the evidence. They magnify
it, run it through machines, separate it into parts, and
shine lasers on it. They search for information that fits
together, like pieces of a puzzle, until the truth comes
out.
