Produktbeschreibung

Over the past decade, there have been great advances in the technology available to crime scene personnel and laboratory analysts. Many of the newer methods employed by criminalists are based on sound scientific research and have extraordinary sensitivity and specificity. This volume describes such methods and provides insight into their impact on forensic science and criminal justice. Topics discussed include scientific evidence in criminal cases where the outcome has been largely decided based on forensic evidence analysis, legal and chemical aspects in the detection and analysis of methamphetamines, DNA analysis, new applications of chemical methods to forensic science, NMR methods, pharmacogenetics, and virtual autopsy.
