{"product_id":"cold-cases-1","title":"Cold Cases","description":"This book explicitly chronicles 40 cases of unsolved murders and disappearances over a period of more than 160 years, tracing the evolution of criminal investigation and forensic techniques.\nMurders and other violent crimes often leave an indelible mark on society. The 18th-century murder of \"Beautiful Cigar Girl\" Mary Rogers helped the then newly emerging tabloid papers become a fixture in the United States. The Federal Aviation Administration was spurred into requiring electronic screening of passengers and carry-on luggage by a series of highly-publicized hijackings. Abductions of youth gave birth to Amber Alerts and advertising missing children on milk cartons. And popular TV shows like \u003ci\u003eLaw and Order\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCSI\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCold Case\u003c\/i\u003e document our fascination with police investigations, heinous criminals, and the complicated aftermath of their actions. \n\nThis book examines 40 well-known cases of unsolved murders and suspected abductions over a period of over 160 years. Cases are organized chronologically to give readers insight into the evolution of criminal investigation techniques and forensics in the last century and a half. Later chapters detail how modern forensics were used in attempts to solve old cold cases or helped generate new leads.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250794516824,"sku":"9780313376924","price":92.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780313376924_7aa40a4a-f10e-4c54-ba09-d387b8ce9f12.jpg?v=1764689413","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/cold-cases-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
