I have been using this book for the three years of my degree, originally buying the first edition then the second when it was published. This is an invaluable resource for 1st year Forensic Science students and the comprehensive introductory material provides good reading for any budding CSI. Throughout my degree I have returned to this book, either as a refresher for learned material or as an introduction to further reading. The content is accessible and I have found that reading this material prior to further reading gives you the background knowledge necessary to understand more detailed specific subject texts.
The second edition does contain useful new material, including birefringence of fibres and archaeology. There is a ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is an OK book to read on holiday - broken into a series of short chapters it's easy to pick up and put down after reading a few sides. In terms of content it's pretty superficial stuff. The 'insight' into criminal activity doesn't come until well over half way through, and if you are looking for a bit more depth there is better biographical material available e.g. Wensley Clarkson on Kenneth Noye and all the others. The picture you get of the Met. and police in general is not flattering and just confirms most people's opinion that this bunch of dinosaurs has been getting away with it without proper scrutiny for ever. The list of police blunders seems endless - (the most damning comment on the Lawrence Inquiry report that the police was ... Read More:

This was quite hard going initially, I picked it up - read a bit, put it down, picked it up, forgot what I'd already read, etc, etc. It just wasn't gripping, in spite of what other reviewers say. It's all been seen before and said before. The anecdotes belong to the days of 'The Professionals' or 'Z Cars' I think probably it was just too accurate an unvarnished reflection of how mundane and low life most undercover work must be. I was really having to wade my way through until the last couple of chapters got intense, interesting and very real. A catalogue of bungles from the West Mids police setting up a drugs bust-including, astonishingly, leaving 'Property of the West Mids Police' wrappers on the drugs cash to be used in the scam that forms ...

I found out about this book quite by chance, when a friend asked me to go to a reading by the author at Waterstones. I thought I should buy it so I would have a clue what it was all about. I am really glad I did. The book is not an easy read, but a fascinating one. It is a cliche I know, but I really couldn't put it down. It is much much more than a tale about one man, David Oluwale. Kester Aspden has provided an incredibly detailed social history of policing in general, and the city of Leeds in particular. I have recommended "nationality wog" to everyone I know. This is a story that really should be heard.

Dead Man Running: A True Story of a Secret Agent's Escape from the IRA and MI5by: Martin McGartland October 21, 1999 Best Selling > Books > Criminal Investigation |
||
|
There were some really interesting stories in the book, but it was spoilt by the fact that Martin McGartland repeated things over and over again. This book could really have been 10 pages shorter. Not a book I would want to read twice. A poor follow up to the first book, Fifty Dead Men Walking.

Fifty Dead Men Walkingby: Martin McGartland February 01, 1998 Best Selling > Books > Criminal Investigation |

Martin McGartland was recruited by RUC Special Branch in 1987 and only just escaped with his life in 1991. This is an excellent book for those readers interested in day to day operations of the IRA and how an informer works in his dangerous occupation. One slip up and you end up with a bullet in the back of your head. Many IRA personnel are named,his work in the IRA's Belfast Intelligence unit as well as a separate active service unit is given,chapter 10 gives details on how the quartermaster department works,how they collected intelligence on potential targets,as well as their various money making schemes to raise finance. Finally an operation he informed on was foiled,leading the IRA's internal security to suspect him,he was "interrogated" but managed to escape. ... Read More: >>More Details |

In this beguiling work, Malcolm ascribes to the journalist-subject relationship the phenomenum which Heisenberg, working in atomic physics, characterised as the uncertainty principle: namely that through the process of observation, the observer alters the outcome. To explore the question, she studies a curious legal case in which a triple-murderer successfully sued an author who reported his case: the jury ruled that the writer had wilfully and maliciously misled the convict to such a degree that he was liable, to the tune of $350k, for his subject's wounded feelings. Malcolm, in forensic detail, attempts to determine the point at which journalistic licence becomes outright lying; and the point at which humouring a subject in order to extract a story becomes ...
