Honest Appraisal, No Delusions

I know your favorite televsion shows are crime scene based. I like them too. But you gotta know, there are a lot of things wrong with what you're seeing on TV. Because I have this "insider" position—with my friends and colleagues who actually work in the criminal justice system—I can let you know exactly what is bunkum and what's the truth. And don't you want to know?

One of the things I do for free is to act as a helper/mentor on the site Pitsco's "Ask an Expert." For about nine or ten years now I've gotten mail from this site and most of it is from teenagers doing reports, high school students looking for career information, and even elementary school dearlings looking for projects for science fair, and I gotta tell you, they are really surprised to find out that a lot of CSI-Las Vegas, New York and Miami (not to mention Crossing Jordan, one of the most blatant in la-la land) is made up by writers who are just telling a good yarn. Okay, so let that not be YOU. You want the real dope, the actual low-down on what this crime business is all about.

Well, in order to get you the real stuff, I will interview some of my friends (oh, they'll love that), explain certain procedures, and draw your eyes to information sources that even I use.

Some of the topics we'll tackle have to do with job descriptions (how does what); crime scene techniques, lab equipment and capabilities, and then we'll also take a stab at the worse offenses, and the repercussions of putting nonsense on TV.

Send me your thoughts, keep up to speed on the posts (I'll try for at least once a week—hey, I gotta write books and do speaking engagements and all that other author-type schtick, don't I? Gimme a break.) In the meantime, tell your friends and act supportive. Looking to form relationships and readers out of you.

Stay sane.
