Becoming a Crime Scene Investigator (Masters at Work)

This guide reveals the nitty gritty of what a career as a crime scene investigator looks like — written by an acclaimed journalist with real CSI experience with the Baltimore PD. This book goes step-by-step into what goes on during a day on the job for a CSI — from evidence collection, photo documentation, finding fingerprints and analyzing blood spatter. This book doesn’t shy away from the morbid realities these investigators face — in addition to the crime scene, exploring the process of getting results in a forensic laboratory, with insight from the director of one of these in-house labs. This is for anybody interested in what an actual day in the life of the profession looks like, whether they’re looking to demystify the perception media has given them or whether they’re looking to enter this profession as well.
