Drugs and the Law: Detection, Recognition and Investigation

This is the most comprehensive and easiest to understand book on the subject of illegal drug use or abuse I have read and I have read most texts on this subject. This book is suitable for physicians, counselors, attorneys, classroom teachers, professors, parents, youth leaders, analysts, police officers, federal law enforcement officers, and parents. It is also readable by students 16 years or older. The writing has a some "policeize", but in comparison to most similar texts it is written in plain English. The index is excellent. This book explains the detection, recognition, and investigation of illegal drugs as described in the subtitle, but it also explains the impact of drugs on human physiology. This book includes some policing strategies, but in general it is not about public policy, incarceration, morality, or judgment. This is a book about drug facts and impacts and the evolution of drug law. The book is a superb resource for anyone preparing studies, classes, or law enforcement. The author is commended for his detailed and exacting research free of hyperbole.
