For students who love crime
investigation, this book
provides a look at how cold cases are solved and why so many
go unsolved.
Colorful illustrations and quick fact bubbles expand upon
the text. For grades
6-12. Cold cases,
crime cases that have not been solved, fascinate many people.
This book focuses on the techniques used to solve crime
cases including the use
of national databases of fingerprints and DNA, searching
with cadaver finding
dogs, modern crime lab techniques, the use of forensic anthropologists, and
ground-penetrating radar. Reasons why cases go unsolved are
also highlighted.
There is career information embedded within the book as well
as mention of
specific murders and rapes that have been solved by
intensive investigation.
An index, annotated further reading, chapter notes, and
glossary complete this
book. While not an essential purchase for school libraries
this book will surely
spark interest in a segment of the student population and
get some otherwise
nonreaders reading.
Crime
Scene Investigations contains 32 titles. Engaging
reading and great illustrations with fact bubbles will
thrill the student who is
interested in crime.
Specific cases and investigative techniques as well as
career information. Grades 6-12. McNicol,Lois
