Summary: Practical Homicide Investigation:Third Edition
Review: This book is a must for any law enforcement professional.It is graphic, with a number of color and black & white photos. It should be used during the "Investigations" section of the police academy. I feel this would give cadets a better understanding of not only homicide investigation, but investigation in general.

Summary: Forensic Science Student -AIAS
Review: This book is a must have for anyone involved in law enforcement, forensics, or someone who might just be curious about the detailed workings of homicide investigation. Some of the pictures are gruesome but reveal an actual crime scene that you can learn from. All pictures have explanations beneath them to give the reader an explanation of what they are seeing. There's plenty of references and checklists for those involved in this field to make good use of. This book is fantastic! I've actually read it from cover to cover. Vernon really knows his stuff and obviously done his homework.

Summary: Very informative
Review: This book is very informative, whether you are an officer, investigator, or just planning to enter the field. The book tells about different types of homicides, and different ways to solve the cases. It has taught me alot of different ways to approach the suspects, and different things to look for in the cases. It has also taught me different ways of investigating cases, and finding out if the cases are actually homicides, accidents, or suicides. It is very helpful for anyone that is thinking of going into the field, or even the people that are already in the field of homicide investigation.

Summary: A necessary text for those involved in this field
Review: This is a top of the line book and is a must have. It is also invaluable as a reference tool for research and writing. I would not suggest this book if you are not involved in law enforcement or psychology; it is primarily useful for people in the field, not those who enjoy "true crime" books.
