| Summary |
"Photographs and video images can provide some of the most compelling evidence in an investigation. The latest digital cameras and imaging systems make many tasks easier than ever before, allowing users to instantly review an image, import it into a software application, enhance the details, transfer images between locations, and build image databases. This book clearly explains how and when to use these technologies in a forensic setting." "Digital cameras and imaging equipment are already being used on a limited basis in many areas of law enforcement such as questioned documents, latent fingerprints, domestic violence documentation, and surveillance. More departments would adopt this technology if they knew how to use it. Departments that are using it often lack sufficient training or receive biased information from equipment vendors." |

"This hands-on guide clarifies the difference between what can be done digitally and what should be done in a forensic setting, and helps the reader "learn by doing" with exercises and step-by-step instructions. The images and exercises in the CD-ROM provide practical examples of the techniques described in the book." "Law enforcement professionals who follow the recommendations in this text can feel confident that their handling of imaging evidence will stand up to the high standards necessary for prosecuting criminal cases."--BOOK JACKET |
