"Bertino's Forensic Science textbook encourages students to solve scientific problems, use mathematics appropriately, engage in scientific questioning, plan and implement appropriate data collection strategies and perform data analysis. Student will develop the abilities to think critically, creatively, and analytically through interesting, real world case studies. The content and laboratory activities resonate with my students as we dive into investigations together. The "aha" moments are countless!", This is the only Forensics textbook I have encountered that is targeted specifically for high school students. Of all the textbooks in my classroom this is the one we actually use most. The lab activities are very engaging and the text is well researched and highly readable.
