Forensic science is a fascinating and important subject. It provides vital information in many criminal and civil cases and allows courts to address the questions: what has happened and who is responsible? There are three main stages in the forensic science process: crime scene examination, where evidence is collected and preserved; laboratory examination of recovered evidence to determine if there are any associations between pieces of evidence; and court reporting, where the scientist presents their findings to the court. Scene examination and court reporting are well represented in forensic textbooks. However, as university lecturers interested in forensic chemistry, we saw a need for a textbook that combines analytical theory and forensic application. That is to say, for a book that looks at the interface between analytical chemistry and (primarily) trace evidence, where trace evidence means materials found in small quantities such as paint chips, fibres, and firearm discharge residue. We hope to provide the depth of technique theory and application required for students on science based forensic science undergraduate and postgraduate courses, bridging the gap between introductory and advanced texts. We also hope the book will serve as a resource for forensic scientists who may wish to broaden their knowledge of analytical forensic science or for analytical scientists who wish to apply their knowledge in a forensic context.
