Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Globalization has dramatically changed the global criminal landscape. Today, national and transnational crime make forensic investigations even more complex. This is especially true in forensic chemistry, where the appearance of new psychoactive substances on the market almost every week, the occurrence of unlawful discharges of multicompounds into the environment, food adulteration and contamination, the use of more complex explosives and precursors, and, at the same time, acknowledgement of the benefits as well as the restraints of laboratory certification and accreditation make the work of forensic analysts in chemistry even more challenging.
This Special Issue of Molecules welcomes original research articles, communications, and review articles dealing with research on the topics discussed above, as well as in all other fields in chemistry applied to solving forensic issues, including drug analysis, safe consumption, suspected documents, ink profiling and aging, accelerant analysis, explosives, latent fingerprint revelation, thanatochemistry, wastewater-based epidemiology, and forensic chemometrics. We are certain that this Issuer will serve as an excellent forum for providing and discussing recent developments in the field.
