Careers in the Homicide Unit (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781477717103)

Teenagers learn in this riveting volume that the homicide unit is the most elite detective squad in a police force. They discover how a homicide squad responds to a crime scene, from evidence collection and analysis, interviewing witnesses, and following leads to issuing arrest warrants and working with prosecutors in achieving justice for the victim and his or her family. The narrative specifies career training and responsibilities for homicide unit professionals and their work with forensic scientists, medical examiners, district attorneys, and civilian support staff. Two homicide cases, the Phil Spector and Scott Peterson cases, help illuminate specific job tasks.
