In any criminal investigation today, the assistance of a criminalist is indispensable.
Criminalistics is the science that studies the patterns of the preparation, commission, and disclosure of crimes, the emergence and existence of traces of those crimes, and the collection, examination, evaluation, and use of evidence. In ancient times and the Middle Ages, everything depended on the words of an oracle or priest, but later, guilt or innocence was determined by instruments or reagents.
This book narrates the story of one hundred great investigations from the past and present, covering unusual cases that led to the emergence of new scientific research methods in criminalistics.
Previously, the book was published under the title «100 Great Mysteries of Criminalistics».
