This is the only comprehensive text that addresses in a non-technical manner all of the issues involved in the forensic investigation and prosecution of clandestine labs. Although it explains how to identify the controlled substances that are being manufactured and the methods used in the manufacturing process, this book does not describe how to manufacture them. It provides lists of chemicals commonly used in clandestine drug and explosives manufacturing, shows how to collect and preserve evidence and provides insight into evidence analysis. The author also deals with all phases of the courtroom experience, and finally, he provides a list of references and articles about the controlled substances.
