Bloodstain Pattern Analysis with an Introduction to Crime Scene Reconstruction Third Edition in full-color by Tom Bevel and Ross M. Gardner is long overdue. This completely revised and enhanced edition is a practical and concisely written text. It is the most complete and comprehensive handbook to date from the perspective of the criminal investigator and forensic scientist on the subject of bloodstain spatter analysis. The authors have provided the reader with an eloquent and practical guide for the analysis of bloodstain patterns and crime scene reconstruction based on many years of practical experience. Their original lab manual published over 24 years ago was entitled “Bloodstain Pattern Analysis: Theory and Practice.” This manual eventually became the framework for the first edition of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis with an Introduction to Crime Scene Reconstruction, which challenged some of the subjective interpretation systems of bloodstain pattern assessments.
