These two books offer very different treatments of the popularsubject of forensic science. Investigator Anastasi applies the termto the field of white-collar crime, providing an in-depth look atseveral real-life case studies of forensic investigations ofcorporate and intellectual property crimes. While not exactly thesame as the "blood and guts" forensic work that we see portrayed intoday's popular culture, these cases -of fraud, trade secret theft,and other security breaches -are nevertheless very interesting.Anastasi has written one of the first books dealing with this "new"forensics, a field destined to become more popular, especially asthe avenues of white-collar crime expand with the Internet.Although the book is riddled with technical computer lingo, theauthor does a good job of explaining and putting things in layreader's terms. Taking a more traditional approach to the subject, Platt, author ofmany science books for DK, presents a brief summary of thebetter-known aspects of forensic science. Replete with manywonderful color photos and illustrations, this short text includeschapters ranging from "At the Crime Scene" and "HumanIdentification" to "Lethal Agents" and "Crime Without Corpses,"including some of the types of crimes covered in the Anastasi book.A four-page time line of breakthroughs in forensic science and atwo-page glossary of subject terms conclude the volume. WileAnastasi's book is recommended for large public libraries andacademic libraries serving criminal justice programs, Platt's isrecommended for high school and public libraries. --Sara Jent,Univ. of Louisville Lib.
