Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updating and expanding the coverage of the first Edition, this book provides a chemical background to domestic and international controls on substances of misuse. In the United Kingdom, structure-specific (generic) controls have been further developed in the past 13 years and now cover 17 groups of compounds. The focus of those controls has been on new psychoactive substances (NPS). Since 1997, over 800 NPS have been reported to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drugs Addiction. International generic and analogue controls are described together with a critical review of their effectiveness. Other, established, drugs are described as well as a large group of psychoactive substances that are not scheduled by the International Conventions This book has general appeal to those needing information on illicit drugs including forensic scientists, lawyers, law enforcement agencies, drug regulatory authorities as well as graduate and postgraduate students of chemistry and the criminal law. The chapters are supported by chemical structures, numerous tables and charts, appendices, a glossary and a bibliography. This unique book is a valuable addition to the literature in this area and will be of great assistance to those studying this topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New designer drugs, access to databases, and changing availability of samples for analysis have changed the face of modern forensic toxicology in recent years. Forensic Toxicology: Drug Use and Misuse brings together the latest information direct from experts in each sub-field of the discipline providing a broad overview of current thinking and the most innovative approaches to case studies. The text begins with an in-depth discussion of pharmacoepidemiology, including information on the value of nationwide databases in forensic toxicology. The use and abuse of drugs in driving, sport and the workplace are then discussed by industry experts who are conducting case work in their field. Not only are new drug groups discussed (NPS), but also their constantly changing impact on drug legislation. Synthetic cannabinoids, khat and mephodrone are discussed in detail. Following a section devoted to legislation and defence, readers will find comprehensive chapters covering sample choice reflecting the increasing use of hair and oral fluid, and also the less commonly used sweat and nail analysis. New and old case examples are compared and contrasted in the final part of the book, which will enable readers to understand how drugs impact on each other and how the interpretative outcome of a case are dependent on many aspects. From use of pharmaceutical drugs in a clinical setting, through smart drugs to new psychoactive drugs, this book documents the wide range in which drugs today are abused. This book will be an essential resource for postgraduate students in forensic toxicology, and for researchers in forensic toxicology laboratories who need the latest data and knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensic chemists and toxicologists work with drugs and poisons, but they each start with different evidence. Forensic chemists working in a crime lab must determine if the physical evidence they receive is an illegal substance such as marijuana or cocaine. They are also responsible for samples—including fire debris, soil, paint, glass, explosives, and fibers—obtained from suspected arson crimes. Toxicologists, on the other hand, work with biological evidence such as blood, saliva, urine, and feces, using analytical chemistry to identify chemical traces and unmetabolized drugs. They often work in labs associated with a medical examiner’s office or a hospital. Drugs, Poisons, and Chemistry, Revised Edition touches on all aspects of forensic chemistry, including how it developed and what it includes today. This useful eBook covers a short history of forensic chemistry, detailing the story of arsenic and those who developed effective tests to detect it. Delving into the tools and techniques used by forensic chemists—ranging from such familiar tools as the microscope to slightly more obscure tools as the use of antibodies to detect toxins—this comprehensive resource provides a thorough examination of these three main areas of forensic chemistry. Chapters include: History and Pioneers Scientific Principles, Instrumentation, and Equipment Toxicology: Drugs and Poisons in the Body Forensic Drug Analysis Conclusions: The Future of Drugs, Poisons, and Chemistry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid spread of drug use and abuse in this country over the last decade, events relating to drugs have become increasingly prominent in the court of law as well as in society in general. It is anticipated that throughout the 1980s this problem will continue to be one of the major social problems in the United States. With the complexity of the Federal and state laws and their interrelationships, and with the increasing demand for the expert chemist or toxicologist, or both, in the courtroom, more education for these people relating to drugs must be implemented. The prosecuting and defense attorneys are also in need of accurate toxicological information to adequately handle cases in which drugs playa role. This book is intended to be a practical as well as an educational book-a resource tool for the active forensic chemist, as well as for the student. It is with the forensic chemist in mind that the material on controlled substances and substances found in cases of drug abuse has been arranged in a systematic order for quick and easy reference. This section includes synonyms, pharma ceutical preparations, biochemistry and/or pharmacognosy, toxicology and/or pharmacology, and how the substance is controlled under Federal law. Under the concept of scientific consideration as compared with the Federal law, this book enables one to deal with some of the major conflicts in the American legal system concerning scientific evidence and how it is presented in a court of law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When examining a crime scene, investigators rarely discover a smoking gun--figuratively or literally. Rather, they are more likely to find gunshot residue, an aging bloodstain, a piece of fiber, a suspicious white powder, or some unknown chemical substance that requires thorough testing and analysis to prove useful to the criminal justice process. That's where forensic chemists come in. On any given day, a forensic chemist may be asked to examine human tissue to look for poison or drugs, analyze charred wood from a fire scene to uncover fire accelerants, or test rubble from the site of an explosion to determine what volatile agents were used. With their specialized knowledge and skillset, forensic chemists can apply a variety of scientific techniques and instruments to identify unknown substances found at crime scenes and extract other data, which turns the microscopic remnant into a valuable clue for understanding what happened when, where, and by whom. This circumstantial evidence, and the forensic chemist's expert interpretation of it, are critical not only to investigating crimes and tracking down potential suspects but also to rigorously prosecuting offenses and providing juries and judges with objective information they can use to make informed decisions when carrying out justice.
