Crime Scene Management: Scene Specific Methods is an accessible introduction to the common forms of evidence that may be encountered at a scene of crime and the techniques used for recovery of that evidence. The book is clearly focused on the techniques for handling crime scenes from the role of the first officer attending through the to the specialist personnel who may be called to deal with specific evidence types. Clearly structured to enhance student understanding, methods covered include, dna-rich samples, fingerprints, toolmarks and impressions. Later chapters move on to consider common scenes such as burglary, fire and vehicle crime. Included with the book is an interactive CDROM that highlights many of the methodologies covered in the book with video footage ofthe evidence gathering technique in action. The book can be used as a stand-alone but the material included on the CD will enhance student understanding ofthe subject. This is a great opportunity for Wiley to publish the first book in this area. There are currently no other texts with a UK focus that cover this subject area and yet all undergraduate students taking a Forensic Science degree have to cover this aspect of the course. The additional extra of the CD will certainly enhance sales opportunities and ensure that the students are getting a whole package consisting of the book, CD and accompanying website.
