Forensic science (2nd edn)

Most people seem to get their ideas about forensic science from TV programmes such as the ubiquitous CSI. These programmes have raised awareness of the subject and have persuaded many to take an interest in (forensic) science. However, CSI is 'Hollywood' and differs in many respects from real forensic science as seen on the streets of, for example, Cricklewood. This book is an excellent overview of true forensic science.
