First and foremost, be aware if there is any reviews referring to "textbook", it's not for this "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" which is supposed to be a textbook companion.
"Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" is useless!!! This is nothing but a bunch of glossary. And a half of the book is blank for writing notes. What a rip-off!!! There's no outlines at all. No chapter summaries, no explanation of concepts. Totally useless. I have used "Collins College Outlines" series (I rate them 3 stars) and "Barron's Business Reviews" series (I rate them 5 stars). Never buy any of "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" series. Technical notes: "Cram 101 Textbook Outlines" is POD (Print on demand). No wonder quality of printing is inferior (Looks like a xerox copy). And priced too high for this quality. For those who are not familiar with publishing industry--POD is used for ultra small quantity less than 100 copies. This is a telltale sign that book is not expected to sell minimum quantity (usually 3,000 copies) that commercial publisher is willing to commit to publish. Simply put, POD means inferrior and overpriced books. A work of amateur. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-02 23:11:43 EST)

I bought this book because I'm interested in series on discovery such as: Forensic Detectives, Medical Detectives and The Fbi Files. This book describes everything(see table of contents) in detail, from the history of crime investigation till gunshots etc. After almost every subject, the book gives real life examples and pictures.
After reading reviews I bought it and I don't regret it. It's the most excellent book in the field and often used on universities. The book isn't cheap, but if you're really interested in these subjects it's certainly worth the price. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-02-15 15:01:52 EST)

This book is by far one of the best of the criminal justice books that I have ever read. If it wasn't required reading for my Criminal Investigations class, I just might have picked it up and read it on my own. This book is one of the most interesting and easy to read books that has ever been required reading. The photography in the text helps with the topics in the reading much more than in any other books I've read. Though a bit gruesome, the photos are of great quality and only help the book that much more.

I initially purchased this book as required reading for a Police Sergeant promotional exam but, I realized that it was the most informative text on investigations that I have read to date. The text is very well written and most of the material is applicable in any jurisdiction. The book includes a good number of illustrations and photos and I'm positive that I'll be referring back to this book throughout my career as a police officer.

Como estudiante de Derecho, apasionado con la Investigación Criminal, decidí comprar este libro, vale decir que desde el primer momento me pareció interesante, y no tardé en comprobarlo.
Cada sección está bien detallada, y escrita de manera muy didáctica; hasta ahora la parte más interesante ha sido la sécción de los interrogatorios, contiene múltiples y variadas técnicas, así como consejos a los investigadores. Lo he calificado con un 4, puesto que las fotografías son a blanco y negro. Aparte de eso... Excelente! (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-02-15 15:01:52 EST)

This book is on the reading list for Massachusetts Civil Service Promotional Exams. I found it to be fascinating, as did most of my colleagues. You name the crime, and this book will show you step by step how to find the evidence, and how to properly handle it when you do find it. Full of diagrams and illustrations to make every concept crystal clear and graphic photos of some heinous crime scenes.
