The twelfth version of Swanson’s Investigating Crime is renowned as one of the most precise and comprehensive texts in the field. This pragmatic and systematic introduction to criminal investigation offers students a coherent framework for grasping the inquiry process. Key sections address contemporary concerns such as ecological transgressions, the despoiling of historical sites, video recording of crime scenes, urban cliques, and narcotics. Case studies throughout the material underscore the real-world approach to criminal inquiry. Diagrams, graphs, and captivating visuals illustrate the pragmatic facets of investigation and elucidate challenging scientific principles.

Investigating Crime serves as an all-encompassing resource for students aspiring to enter law enforcement or a related domain. Commencing with a discourse on the evolvement of criminal investigation and the significance of forensic science, this text thoroughly delves into the investigation process, types of offenses, and the judicial procedure.

Investigating Crime sets itself apart from other texts on the subject in several profoundly significant ways:
•Portrays criminal investigation as a science, rather than an art, emphasizing precision and methodological rigor, thereby distinguishing it from and elevating it above other texts on the matter.
•Contextualizes methods by delving deep into classifications, encompassing crimes, culprits, and victims, enabling readers to amass a more comprehensive comprehension of criminal inquiry, while providing access to substantial reference material.
•Incorporates crime-prevention segments that assist crime scene examiners in collaborating with victims to avert further harm.
•Acknowledges the uniformed officer’s role in and contribution to the ultimate success of an investigation, distinct from the detective’s role.

The authors Charles R. Swanson, Neil C. Chamelin, Leonard Territo, and Robert W. Taylor bring their extensive array of experiences to the subject. Collectively, they have served in city police precincts and a sheriff’s bureau; acted as advisors to local, state, federal, and international law enforcement agencies; held academic positions in criminal justice departments; instructed in police training facilities; and functioned as expert witnesses. The authors have authored multiple books and articles and have presented papers at national conventions. Investigating Crime reflects what they have imbibed from their practical encounters, supplemented by pertinent research.
