Forensic Chemistry provides forensic chemists with the necessary background information needed to examine physical evidence and interpret the results from the examination of this evidence. The peer-reviewed text covers background material on the interface between chemistry and the law, the physical and chemical analysis of materials that are commonly encountered in a forensics laboratory, crime scenes, and civil cases, and the interpretation of this evidence. The text includes a chapter on communication tools for use within the legal framework, including writing reports and giving testimony.
