Originally published in 1982 by Pearson/Prentice-Hall, the Forensic Science Handbook, Volume I, Third Edition has been fully updated and revised to include the latest developments in scientific testing, analysis, and interpretation of forensic evidence. World-renowned forensic scientist, author, and educator Dr. Richard Saferstein once again brings together a contributor list that is a veritable Who’s Who of the top forensic scientists in the field. In this Third Edition, he is joined by co-editor Dr. Adam Hall, a forensic scientist and Assistant Professor within the Biomedical Forensic Sciences Programme at Boston University School of Medicine. This two-volume series focuses on the legal, evidentiary, biological, and chemical aspects of forensic science practice.
The topics covered in this new edition of Volume I include a broad range of subjects including:
- Legal aspects of forensic science
- Analytical instrumentation to include: microspectrophotometry, infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry

His areas of expertise encompassed breath and blood testing for alcohol, pharmacological effects of alcohol and drugs, detection and identification of drugs in biological fluids, fire debris analysis, the forensic examination of blood, semen, hair, paint, fiber, and glass as well as the review and evaluation of forensic DNA evidence. Dr. Saferstein was a prolific writer who authored numerous papers and had five books published by Prentice-Hall. His name can be found in the membership rolls of numerous professional organizations, which reflect his broad range of professional interests.
