This downloadable PDF resource by best-selling Forensic Science author Jeanette Jolley provides printable worksheets containing all the information and evidence that students need to solve a hypothetical kidnapping. Its a unique opportunity for students to apply their skills to a real world example of crime; and for teachers to thoroughly assess what their class has learnt.

Students will enjoy the opportunity to detect who committed the crime as they use key elements of forensic science such as collecting evidence, examining witness statements and analysing fingerprints and handwriting. 

No previous study or knowledge of forensic science is necessary as the first three activities in the PDF are designed to provide background information for students who have no formal knowledge of forensic science. These activities can also be used to revise and refresh students' forensic science knowledge. The activities require minimal teacher preparation and answers have been provided.
