Title: Useless! Do not waste your money!
Review: Most of the people joining the forensic field already have a substantial background in biology/chemistry. The 2/3 of the book is a lame attempt to explain the basics of genetics. If you ever have had genetic course, you will skip the first 2/3. If your major is in art or business, you still need to read something more substantial about genetic inheritance. The only part of the book going in the depth of Forensic DNA analysis is a chapter about paternity testing, but... The author of that chapter could not adequately explain how to calculate the probability of inheritance of a genetic locus/marker from alleged father for Paternity Index calculation. The "explanation" in that chapter clearly shows that author DOSE NOT UNDERSTAND the Paternity Index calculation.
Is the review positive or negative?
