Key Features: * New case studies and updated sections on analysis of fingerprints and questioned documents offer recent developments and findings in this critical field. * Two new chapters on chemistry and biology equip readers with the foundation and tools necessary to understand more advanced topics. * Extensive updating of Chapter 11 "Drug Use and Abuse," provides the latest methods of drug testing and analysis by federal and state law enforcement agencies.
