“…this set of materials is a superb offering…. [they] are unique and their academic merits unquestionable.”
—Charles C. James,
Director of Curriculum and Instruction,
National Science Teachers Association
“We used it as a class project with each section. I loved having this resource!”
“The references to historical events where criminals were brought to justice using the same methods shown on the program was very valuable to me. The most important thing I learned is that it is almost impossible to get away with a crime with the technology we currently have at our disposal.”
“I liked seeing the forensic lab and equipment and how they work. I learned that paying attention to details is very important.”
