Crimebusting!
Fingerprints, DNA evidence, trace evidence, witness statements, all of these help investigators figure out exactly what happened during a crime and who did it. Forensic scientists, artists, and pathologists help figure out who the victims and criminals are, and exactly what happened at the crime scene. "True Crime" sidebars and hands-on activities allow readers to become more involved.
* Reviews *
These books offer a variety of topics dealing with forensic science and include more than just body and blood evidence. Each title boasts in-depth information, sidebars detailing events of true crime, and activities that will increase understanding. Two of the most interesting titles are Virtual Crime!. and Counterfeit! However, there is a great deal of repetition, particularly in the Ballard titles. Photographs are colorful, well-captioned, and related to the text, and include no bloody bodies., School Library Journal Fall 2009
