Forensic Science Handbook, Volume I
Originally published in 1982 by Pearson/Prentice-Hall, the Forensic Science Handbook, Volume I, Third Edition has been fully updated and revised to include the latest developments in scientific testing, analysis, and interpretation of forensic evidence. World-renowned forensic scientist, author, and educator Dr. Richard Saferstein once again brings together a contributor list that is a veritable Who’s Who of the top forensic scientists in the field. In this Third Edition, he is joined by co-editor Dr. Adam Hall, a forensic scientist and Assistant Professor within the Biomedical Forensic Sciences Programme at Boston University School of Medicine. This two-volume series focuses on the legal, evidentiary, biological, and chemical aspects of forensic science practice.
The topics covered in this new edition of Volume I include a broad range of subjects including:
- Legal aspects of forensic science
- Analytical instrumentation to include: microspectrophotometry, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry
- Trace evidence characterisation of hairs, dust, paints and inks
- Identification of body fluids and human DNA
This is an update of a classic reference series and will serve as a must-have desk reference for forensic science practitioners. It will likewise be a welcome resource for professors teaching advanced forensic science techniques and methodologies at universities worldwide, particularly at the graduate level.
