Now
available in its Fifth Edition, Garriott’s Medicolegal
Aspects of Alcohol is the hands-down indispensable textbook
for forensic toxicology and for anyone involved with the
medicolegal aspects of alcohol.
Alcohol-related litigation
typically pertains to arrests of drinking drivers, but also
includes industrial accidents, public transport accidents,
and violent crimes. The medicolegal aspects of alcohol are
complex topics because so many different components are
present in alcohol-related criminal and civil cases.
Forensic alcohol analysis is
the most frequently performed of all forensic laboratory
tests. It is extremely important that alcohol analyses be
preformed accurately and correctly and that the results
are properly interpreted. Forensic toxicologists and pathologists
are often called on to interpret the alcohol concentrations
found in the specimens. Often, the results are deemed meaningless
because samples are mishandled, equipment is incorrectly
calibrated, or the results are incorrectly reported.
Garriott’s Medicolegal
Aspects of Alcohol, fifth edition, is designed to continue
to provide you with up-to-date and authoritative information
on alcohol in all aspects of its involvement in the forensic
sciences. The original authors have provided updated science
and information in their topic areas, and new authors with
special expertise have been brought on board. All topics
in the original book have been revised and expanded and
new sections including prosecution and defense of DUI cases
have been added.
The wealth of information presented
in this new fifth edition makes it an invaluable resource
when investigating and litigating cases involving alcohol.
