SuitabookThe Hardy boys detective handbook
Leslie McFarlane
- Reading
- Read a case chapter alongside one of the technique chapters, then discuss how the explanation relates to the example and where the book encourages a particular view of police work.
- Themes
- Police work as a career: The foreword hopes readers may someday join law enforcement. The book explicitly presents a career in law enforcement as a hoped-for path for readers.
- Investigative methods: The handbook details fingerprinting, surveillance, and related investigative techniques. These methods are presented as information about police practice, alongside case examples.
- Worth knowing
- Criminal cases and techniques including surveillance and fingerprinting are part of the subject. The extent or intensity of harmful events in the cases is not clear.
