Book Review of Behind the Yellow Tape: On the Road with Some of America's Hardest Working Crime Scene Investigators

Behind the Yellow Tape: On the Road with Some of America's Hardest Working Crime Scene Investigators


This is such an informative, fun book. The writers are associated with training CSI technicians & they are very enthusiastic about spreading the new techniques and creating a new professionalism to this part of law enforcement. The book contains recommendations and reports on what leos from all over the country have learned. But the writers are young and obviously enjoy traveling and getting acquainted with how different segments of the country live. They delight in local cuisine and customs. One of the best features of the book is a little map with very brief local history for each place they visit. They confer with those who've taken classes, explore how those officers are using their training, and describe outcomes and results. I absolutely loved it!
