Today I've found in my mail the Study Guide for Benett & Hess's Criminal Investigation. It was a shock! It is the first time in my life I see an empty book. It seems a copybook. The text too, is very poor of information. Is completely useless. It was un error to buy it. I was convinced to buy a textbook. This was an error of mine, probability because the reviews of the workbook are mixed with those of the textbook and the average is calculated using all of them (I hope this happened by error). Pay attention. By the way, I've found an use for the mine: I've put it under the short leg of the shelf in my attic. Who said that it is an useless book.

more of a high school book but works for me, buy it used!

I used this textbook in a Bachelor Degree level course called Criminal Investigation. It is easy to read and understand...you practically teach the material to yourself. I highly recommend it for college level courses. Very comprehensible and up to date text!

What a useless study guide. All this does is reprint the chapter summary and removes a few words and asks you to fill in the blanks. Do not, repeat, NOT, waste your money on this.
What a cheap ripoff by the publisher.

I bought this book, and it was the textbook, not a study guide, the last reviewer was fooled!

This is the STUDY GUIDE, not the text book. I was really peeved when it came in the mail and I realized all I had was a paper thin study guide, which was supposed to help me take tests on the text book. Don't make the mistake I did, get the text book, not the STUDY GUIDE!

This book is a must have for those interested in criminal investigations. It is up with the current technological advances and guides you through various information essential to criminal investigations. This book can be used by both public and private sector. As a police officer for the City of Philadelphia it is a must-read for those aspiring to be a detective in regard to the promotional exams. I did like the free InfoTrac College edition and hope that they can be included in subsequent editions, I found it very helpful in terms of research material. The book even covered many-real life examples and Terrorist-related challenges that all involved in law enforecement should be knowledgeable of. I would recommend this book to other officers, and even to lawyers. There is a study guide, ISBN # 0-534-61525-2, order them both today.
