Forensic Investigation of Explosions

Providing a broad, multidisciplinary approach, this volume draws on the editor's 30 years of explosives casework experience, including his work on task forces set up to investigate major explosives incidents. Assembling the contributions of internationally recognized experts, this edition contains revised chapters and several additional topics, including a profile of casework management in the UK Forensic Explosives Laboratory, properties and analysis of improvised explosives, and an examination of the Bali bombings. It also discusses the collection, analysis, and presentation of evidence in vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cases, as evidenced in attacks on U.S. overseas targets.
