N2  - The first text to specifically address this growing field, Forensic Chemistry 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. It provides a solid foundation for basic chemistry, introducing chemical concepts and practices from a forensic perspective (including multivariate statistics, quality assurance/quality control, and protocols used in working forensic laboratories). The Second Edition has been reorganized significantly, and updated to reflect new developments in the course
