Since the very inception of our website, we have been inundated by requests from students all over the world for reference texts relating to one forensic science subject or another. Most requests are for books related to criminal profiling or death investigation. We have done our best to answer each email in full, pointing to bibliographies and authors of good reference texts. The biggest problem, however, has been and remains the availability of good forensic science texts.
Most libraries have a very poor selection of forensic science textbooks.
And the few University libraries that do carry these types of texts are routinely pillaged by the prurient minded, leaving the serious student in the lurch without access to basic learning materials. The other major problem that students face is even knowing what texts exist. Unless you are in the profession, surrounded by peers and betters, it's very difficult to know what you should be reading, who publishes the industry standards, and who is thinking and teaching what, and why. When you link to and buy any book from this site, Knowledge Solutions usually earns a small percentage of the sale price in the form of a referral fee. These books are perfect for professionals in law enforcement, the forensic sciences, the legal community, the mental health community, and any students of those or related disciplines.
