“The film is exceptional in clarity and content. Each photograph has been included for educational impact and is of production quality. Often what is portrayed on television is inaccurate and misleading. Forensic Death Investigation 'tells it like it is' and students appreciate the detail and real world flavor of the material. Prior to showing the film I told my students that there would be pictures more graphic than any they have seen. They were doubtful. I told them that any student who found the images to intense to deal with that they would be free to leave class. The students in my class are both forensic science students and criminal justice students. Criminal Investigation is a required course for both. The class was eager to see the film and no one left. Many were surprised at the stark reality and I found some ducking at certain pictures especially those of children but I think it may have been a formative moment for many.”

“Many thanks for having had the opportunity to preview your DVD Training Program on Forensic Death Investigation. It is a tremendous tool for classroom instruction and brings to life issues which are sometimes difficult to understand in textbook fashion. The various topical areas contribute to the relevancy in an academic setting where sections can be used in different courses and not limited to forensics only. It is my belief also, having taught at a police academy for 22 years, that exposing recruits to this information through the DVD is very appropriate. We look forward to using this material in our School of Criminal Justice and certainly know our students will definitely benefit from the experience.”

“The principle value that I see with this program is the ability to present forensic investigation at an early stage in an overall Criminal Justice Course Program. The program, while comprehensive, is presented at a level which satisfies my appreciation of academic standards and valuable and necessary information to develop both a base for further studies and course work and a tweaking of the students interests.”
