Criminal Investigation Handbook combines the in-depth analysis of a treatise with the how-to and why-to assistance of a practical guide. It aspires to be both substantive and practical. Suggestions are made herein as to the most effective way to proceed in investigating a criminal case, what evidence is the most probative not only from the perspective of satisfying the essential elements of the crime charged, but also from the point of view of convincing the judge or jury that the accused is guilty of committing, aiding or abetting, or soliciting the commission of that crime.
The Handbook focuses on:
The Handbook has gone through extensive updates the last few years. The 2021 edition was completely reorganized and rewritten, informing the reader of the latest procedures and technologies utilized in a forensic investigation of a crime. Last year's 2022 edition further updated criminal investigative procedures guiding law enforcement officers through each and every element of a criminal investigation making sure nothing is missed, including: (i) new sections on Ghost Guns and Ghost Gun Kits, (ii) new updated forensic checklists; and (iii) Listing of the new availability of crime statistics from the FBI's Crime Data Explorer (CDE) which is the digital front door for UCR data. For this latest 2023 Edition, the primary author, Thomas P. Mauriello joined forces with Danielle L. O'Neill, M.F.S., an expert in fingerprints and forensic science, bringing her expertise in revising those relevant chapters to ensure that this treatise is always current, valid, and dynamic.
