 Excellent textbook November 5, 2009
Michael Epstein (Emmitsburg, MD USA)
I have evaluated several of the forensic textbooks for a course in forensic science and have used both of Saferstein's books (Criminalistics; Forensic Science) in past courses. After viewing James and Norby, I have concluded that it is superior in both coverage and detail to any of the other textbooks and will be using it in courses at the college level for both criminal justice and science majors. No textbook is perfect and some supplementation is always needed, but this book comes the closest to comprehensive coverage of the topic.

This book was in good condition and here plenty of time for school. Amazon.com is a great avenue to find your college books at a reasonable price. Amazon.com is a great saver for poor college students.

Huge book, but an easy read. The chapters are outlined and written in a simple format. The vocabulary is highlighted. Some of the techniques described within the chapters are a bit outdated. Good book to reference for forensic science.
