Editorial Reviews

"[T]he text is deserving of … inclusion in the library of a crime laboratory, if not in the personal library of lab personnel. "
- Scientific Sleuthing Review, Summer 2004


"This book provides concise definitions for several thousand forensic terms and words from a diversity of forensic disciplines. … [T]his text is useful as a reference text for students and nonscientists, and will likely be of value to lawyers and law enforcement personnel for interpreting reports."
- Canadian Society of Forensic Science, Vol. 37, No. 3, Sept. 2004
