There are more than 175 million licensed drivers in the United States. Combined with the many pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and other road users, this creates an interesting mix of elements with very different characteristics. Moving these elements efficiently and safely to their destinations presents a major challenge, particularly in densely populated areas. This book will provide guidance in how to identify these elements in your collision investigations. The authors introduce you to the ways in which designers of vehicles and roadways historically often did not take into account the full range of road user characteristics. The book discusses the substantial improvements in design principles and standards achieved over the years due to the concerted effort by concerned individuals interested in roadway and vehicle design and its impact on traffic safety.Most importantly, this book introduces you to the behavior of the road user. Driver limitations and driver or pedestrian error are the major factors in traffic accidents, contributing to about 90% of roadway crashes. Driver behavior, however, is often the most complex and yet least understood element in the roadway system. A wide variety of perspectives on human factors and driver behavior are covered ranging from the design of roads, vehicles and traffic control devices to emotional and motivational determinants of driver behavior. Many traffic safety experts have contributed to this book in order to give you a comprehensive introduction to human factors as it pertains to driver and pedestrian behavior and traffic safety. This new edition has been extensively revised, and contains new chapters on driver education and driver distraction. If you are involved with accident investigation or the promotion of traffic safety in any capacity, this book is an essential part of your library.

Drug use is at least as longstanding as recorded history. Many centuries ago humans, as well as some animal species, discovered medicinal and intoxicant properties of a variety of plants. Nowadays drug users' options have been vastly expanded by new discoveries of plant materials and by new compounds developed in both legal and illegal laboratories. Relieving, healing, and intoxicating are powerful properties. The use and abuse of drugs will continue. 
This book addresses the challenge of this ever-changing industry with accurate, cutting-edge information from acknowledged experts. You'll learn about psychoactive drugs, effects of various kinds of drugs on behavior, and the development of anxiolytics, antidepressants, and antihistamines. These effective medications for depression, insomnia, anxiety, chronic allergic rhinitis, and numerous other disorders are a great boon to medical practice. Tnfortunately, there is also a cost in terms of safety, both when the drugs are used appropriately and when they are abused. The author of Chapter 7 capably brings us up to date with a review of the scientific data. 
For cases of abuse, a specimen--typically breath, blood, or urine--is obtained from a suspected offender near the time of an incident. If analysis of the specimen reveals the presence of a drug or drugs, that finding can become critical evidence in legal proceedings. The admissibility or weight of the evidence then frequently is argued. Was the analysis of a specimen conducted properly? Were the instruments and procedures reliable and appropriate? What statements can be made about the effects of a given level of a drug found in a specific specimen? Such highly technical questions are beyond common knowledge, and we are fortunate here to be instructed about these issues by the authors of Chapters 2-5. 
These wide-ranging examinations of the medico-legal aspects of drugs have been written by a group of uniquely knowledgeable individuals. Their willingness to share their expertise about drugs will provide anyone with the knowledge they need regarding medical-legal aspects of drugs.

As the first edition of Terrorism Law suggests, terrorism, like crime, can never be completely eradicated. Over the past few years, as previous editions were released, the United States has faced many changes and challenges pertaining to the War on Terror, and continues to do so today. Although it was realized at the time the war started that legal and policy challenges would exist, no one could have predicted exactly what events would occur. Much has changed since September 11, 2001 in both the law and policy areas. The biggest challenges have become realistically fighting and winning the War on Terror under a democratically based rule of law, and protecting human rights and civil liberties in an ongoing wartime situation. It has been determined that the United States of America must accomplish three things: identify and appreciate the threat of militant Islamic global terrorism; do a better job of bringing the battle to the terrorists and the nations that harbor them; and promote and sustain a dedicated democracy building campaign in new governments such as those Afghanistan and Iraq. The fourth edition of Terrorism Law has been updated to include new developments in this war as well as some of our nation’s and the world’s biggest challenges while fighting it.

It includes many appendices containing important American and international documents pertaining to the War on Terror as well as discussion questions, citations of legal cases pertaining to terrorism, and bibliographic information for further reference.
