An uncanny calm settles on the scene. The blaze is out. A soggy, sooty mess remains. Most of us wouldn't have a clue where to begin, yet fire and explosion investigators know precisely where and how to dig in. Other books in this series show that documents, fingerprints, a stray hair, fibers, bullets, tool marks, blood spatter, SNA, cigarette butts, insects, or even a simple candy wrapper can provide clinching proof in many legal cases—but fire and bombs destroy these bits of evidence. What clues can forensic scientists possibly glean from rubble and ash? Using real-life stories as examples, Explosives & Arson Investigation explores the world of fire—and bomb-scene investigation. From first-on-the-scene priorities to collecting and documenting evidence to lab analysis and its procedures, then finally assessing motive, this book reveals basic fire characteristics, what investigators look for, how they process what they find, the meaning of specific clues, and common motives—all while highlighting various forensic careers.

This work explores the multifaceted aspects of the devastating crime of arson and will touch on the related subject of explosives and their use by criminals. We begin with a definition of the crime as identified in Law, including arson's classification as a crime and the usual punishment subsequent to conviction, and describe the body of the crime/elements necessary to prove an arson has occurred. An observation in-brief is given of statistical data revealing the impact that arson and related crimes has on our society. Finally, an examination will be presented as to how arson investigators today utilize the full spectrum of forensic science, along with traditional, relentless, and painstaking detective work to overcome the numerous challenges associated with what is arguably one of the most specialized areas of criminal justice -- arson investigation. This book comes highly acclaimed by both educators and individuals within the fire service and the criminal justice system.
