Now in its second edition, Nuclear Forensic Analysis provides a multidisciplinary reference for forensic scientists, analytical and nuclear chemists, and nuclear physicists in one convenient source. The authors focus particularly on the chemical, physical, and nuclear aspects associated with the production or interrogation of a radioactive sample. They consolidate fundamental principles of nuclear forensic analysis, all pertinent protocols and procedures, computer modeling development, interpretational insights, and attribution considerations. The principles and techniques detailed are then demonstrated and discussed in their applications to real-world investigations and casework conducted over the past several years. Highlights of the Second Edition include: A new section on sample analysis considerations and interpretation following a post-detonation nuclear forensic collectionNew case studies, including the most wide-ranging and multidisciplinary nuclear forensic investigation conducted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to dateExpanded treatments of radiologic dispersal devices (RDDs) and statistical analysis methodologies The material is presented with minimal mathematical formality, using consistent terminology with limited jargon, making it a reliable, accessible reference. The broad-based coverage provides important insight into the multifaceted changes facing this recently developed science.

With contributions from well-known experts, this volume discusses clinical assessment, management, and treatment of offenders with mental disorders, including treatment in a range of secure hospital facilities, in prisons, and in the community. Supplying a thorough review of the evidence base, the contributors explore legal and ethical issues, report-writing, and testifying in court. This edition includes new chapters on the genetics of antisocial behaviour, disorders of brain structure, offenders with intellectual disabilities, older people and the criminal justice system, and deviant and sick staff. The printed text is supplemented with a digital book featuring links to key references.
