Catching criminals today is as much about science as sleuthing. Crimebusters looks at a huge variety of crime from burglary to forgery and from arson to cyber crime. Fingerprinting, gathering clues, and DNA testing are just a few of the areas covered in detail. Gripping real-life cases are examined under the microscope, and the author presents several simple forensic experiments that can be performed by amateur detectives using ordinary objects.
