Abstract:
Various aspects of criminalistics have been discussed briefly in this chapter. It is impossible to select topics that will be of greatest interest to everyone. That is why we have libraries. However, it has been my objective to provide sufficient information about several subjects to demonstrate many applications of science to the investigation of crime. It is hoped that the repeated mentioning of things and methods, and the use of italics to emphasize these words, will convey my belief that a basic understanding of the simplicity of crime will help us to focus our attention on its solution. I believe that Dr. Paul L. Kirk was correct in his introductory statements. He made a fundamental observation when he said people commit crimes with things. I hope I have shown worthwhile examples of how people employ various methods when they analyze things.
