Shock - Today I've found in my mail the Study Guide for Benett & Hess's Criminal Investigation. It was a shock! It is the first time in my life I see an empty book. It seems a copybook. The text too, is very poor of information. Is completely useless. It was un error to buy it. I was convinced to buy a textbook. This was an error of mine, probability because the reviews of the workbook are mixed with those of the textbook and the average is calculated using all of them (I hope this happened by error). Pay attention. By the way, I've found an use for the mine: I've put it under the short leg of the shelf in my attic. Who said that it is an useless book.

good book, kind of childish though - more of a high school book but works for me, buy it used!

Excellent to Learn From! - I used this textbook in a Bachelor Degree level course called Criminal Investigation. It is easy to read and understand...you practically teach the material to yourself. I highly recommend it for college level courses. Very comprehensible and up to date text!

Read the title: "STUDY GUIDE" - What a useless study guide. All this does is reprint the chapter summary and removes a few words and asks you to fill in the blanks. Do not, repeat, NOT, waste your money on this.
What a cheap ripoff by the publisher.

This is the book, your seller got you! - I bought this book, and it was the textbook, not a study guide, the last reviewer was fooled!
