Basislehrbuch Kriminalistik

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to all relevant areas of criminalistics. The 22 chapters included are derived from the curricula of police universities at both the state and federal levels, as well as from practical needs in police crime prevention and case management. The authors address both classic topics such as burglary, robbery, arson, and death investigations, as well as new phenomena like cybercrime, Islamist terrorism, Reich citizens, and self-administrators. They convey fundamental knowledge about criminalistic questions, linked with procedural issues in their national and international contexts. The admissibility and limits of police investigative activities are illustrated in each chapter through case studies from everyday police work and solution suggestions, taking into account current jurisprudence. Overall, this work is aimed at all individuals working in police services who deal with issues related to criminalistics. It serves as a valuable resource for students, particularly as a study aid for preparing for exams and assessments, as well as a useful reference book. The second edition has newly included chapters on environmental crime and clan crime. Additionally, the work has been updated to reflect the latest developments in legislation and jurisprudence.
