substantial revision of previous editions. Some of the changes include information on new federal databases, advances in forensic techniques, new arson investigation research and new opioid and synthetic drugs, along with updates in interviewing, crime analysis, surveillance, frauds, and forgeries. Over 350 multiple-choice questions have been revised, rewritten, or replaced, and 185 new true/false questions have been added. For each chapter you will find a list of key terms, along with multiple-choice and true/false questions. It is recommended that students first carefully read the chapter noting important points and information, then review the key terms and return to the text to clarify any unfamiliar topics. When confident of your understanding of the key terms, proceed to the questions. Most questions are restatements of information in the chapter. Some, however, may require students to apply the chapter information to derive the correct answer. Test your understanding of the material by trying to answer the questions. Correct answers can be found in the back of the study guide. For questions you answered incorrectly, return to the text and review the appropriate information. Through this process of review and self-testing, students can increase their understanding of complexities of the criminal investigation process.
