Welcome
Welcome to the website for Erickson, E: Criminalistics Laboratory Manual: The Basics of Forensic Investigation, 1st Edition.
This laboratory manual provides students with little to no prior knowledge of forensic science with a practical crime scene processing experience. The manual starts with an original crime scene narrative setting up the crime students are to solve. This narrative is picked up in each of the fourteen forensic science lab activities, tying each forensic discipline together to show the integrated workings of a real crime lab. After the completion of all of the exercises, the student will be able to solve the homicide based on forensic evidence.
