PI Magazine Bookstore is proud to offer investigators Forensic Investigation of Stolen-Recovered and Other Crime-Related Vehicles. Too often, stolen-recovered and other crime-related vehicles are not technically investigated – partly due to time constraints, but also due to a lack of education on how to conduct a forensic investigation in a vehicle. This unique handbook, written by an impressive collection of international experts, is addressed both to the beginner and the advanced practicing investigator, providing comprehensive coverage of the technical aspects of forensic vehicle investigation. The work applies the same concepts that are used in crime scene investigation to stolen-recovered vehicles, as well as other crime-related vehicles, with some variations inherent to the nature of the vehicle, the offense committed, and the circumstances surrounding the crime scene.

On a larger scale, the book explains vehicular related fluids, various states a vehicle might be found in, and how evidence might be encountered in a vehicle. Although the book largely concentrates on vehicle theft, many stolen cars are involved in other forms of crime. Thus, this book provides crime scene technicians as well as accident investigators an additional resource outlining the various procedures and dynamics of evidence as it might be left in any crime-related vehicle.

Features and Benefits:

  • Written by international experts in the field.
  • A comprehensive reference for the professional, or an invaluable training tool for the beginner.
  • Contains approximately 300 color images.
