Compared with its competitors it is, to me, better written, more 'approachable' and with better pedagogic features.
Dr Mark Fowler, De Montfort University
The main strength of this book is that it is a very good overall book for all aspects of forensic science. It is presented in a way that is user friendly to the students with additional help through the use of problems.
