As the number of forensic science and forensic chemistry degree programs increases, Forensic Chemistry is the first text to specifically address this rapidly growing field. It introduces the principal areas of study from the perspective of analytical chemistry, addressing the legal context in which forensic chemistry is conducted, types of samples and matrices, variety of sample types encountered, and extensive use of instrumentation.
• The first forensics-only textbook – Addresses instructors’ needs for a single, timely text that specifically addresses the field of forensic chemistry, and serves as a reference in the classroom and beyond.
• Solid foundation for basic chemistry – Introduces chemical concepts and practices from a forensic perspective, including multivariate statistics, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), and protocols used in working forensic laboratories.
CONTENT FEATURES
• Comprehensive section on essential elements — Delves into the aspects of study unique to forensic chemistry, including: types of samples and how they are prepared; acid/base chemistry of drugs; solubility; preparations; presumptive testing, and a detailed discussion of microscopy, a fundamental tool of the forensic chemist.
• Extensive coverage of drug analysis – Presents an overview of forensic pharmacology, including physical and biological evidence, toxicology, and aspects of drug analysis critical to reconstructing a crime scene.
• Broad coverage of chemical analysis of physical evidence – Addressesthe analysis of evidence related to combustion; polymers; paper and inks, and paints and coatings.
PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES
• Extensive problem sets in each chapter – Includes chapter-based questions, integrative queries that require further research, and philosophical Food for Thought questionsdrawn from the experience of practicing forensic chemists.
• Applying the Science, drawn from current literature and working forensic laboratories – These boxes provide context for chapter material, linking coursework to current research and forensic casework.
• Historical evidence – Important historical discussions and developments demonstrate the importance of ongoing discovery.
• Exhibits – Contemporary and historical cases, developments and information pertinent to the professional world.
