Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving addresses many theoretical and practical issues related to the role played by alcohol and other psychoactive drugs on driving performance road-traffic safety and public health. Several key forensic issues are involved in the enforcement of laws regulating driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs including analytical toxicology pharmacology of drug action as well as the relationships between dose taken concentration levels in the body and impairment of performance and behavior. Our knowledge of drunken driving is much more comprehensive than drugged driving so a large part of this book is devoted to alcohol impairment as well as impairment caused by use of drugs other than alcohol. For convenience the book is divided into four main sections. The first section gives some historical background about measuring alcohol in blood and breath as evidence for the prosecution of traffic offenders. The important role of the Breathalyzer instrument in traffic-law enforcement especially in Australia Canada and the USA is presented along with a biographical sketch of its inventor (Professor Robert F. Borkenstein of Indiana University) with focus on the man his work and his impact. The second section discusses several issues related to forensic blood and breath-alcohol alcohol analysis as evidence for prosecution of traffic offenders. This includes how the results should be interpreted in relation to impairment and an evaluation of common defense challenges. Because most countries have adopted concentration per se laws the main thrust of the prosecution case is the suspect’s measured blood- or breath-alcohol concentration. This legal framework necessitates that the analytical methods used are fit for purpose and are subjected to rigorous quality assurance procedures. The third section gives a broad overview of the current state of knowledge about driving under the influence of non-alcohol drugs in various countries. This includes adoption of zero-tolerance laws concentration per se statutes and clinical evidence of driver impairment based on field sobriety tests and drug recognition expert evidence. The fourth section deals with epidemiology enforcement and countermeasures aimed at reducing the threat of drunken and drugged driving. All articles have appeared previously in the international journal Forensic Science Review but all are completely updated with current data references and the latest research on developments since the articles were published. This book contains a convenient collection of the best articles covering recommendations for blood and breath testing methods public policy relating to such methods and forensic and legal implications of the enforcement of measures to counter driving under the influence. | Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Laying the Foundations of Independent Psychology The Formation of Modern Psychology Volume 1

Part of a two-volume series this book offers a multicentric perspective on the history of psychology situating its development in relation to developments made in other social sciences and philosophical disciplines. This first volume Laying the Foundations of Independent Psychology provides a detailed exploration of the origins and development of European psychology. The book examines psychology’s beginnings as an independent discipline in the late 19th century through to the emergence of the dominant new schools of behaviorism Gestalt psychology and psychoanalysis in the early 1900s. This volume also offers a broad overview of the early impact of Darwinism not only on the psychological study of individual differences and on American functionalism but also on the early evolutionary treatments of cognition in William James James Baldwin Ernst Mach and even Sigmund Freud. Taking this wider perspective the book shows that European psychology was continuously present and active placing these European developments in their own context in their own time. An invaluable introductory text for undergraduate students of the history of psychology the book will also appeal to postgraduates academics and those interested in psychology or the history of science as well as graduate students of psychology biology sociology and anthropology with a theoretical interest. | Laying the Foundations of Independent Psychology The Formation of Modern Psychology Volume 1

Rebuilding America's Cities

Rebuilding America's Cities

A growing cooperation between the public and private sectors indicates that the tasks of redevelopment are too large and complex for either sector to accomplish alone. Some people maintain that government can do few things right; others are equally distrustful of the private sector. As used here the private sector is considered to be all that is not government. Each of the success stories illustrated is in part a road to recovery although none appear to have been influenced by a purpose that broad. Paul R. Porter and David C. Sweet present stories of progress in self-reliance that concern neighborhood and downtown recoveries school improvement job generation a regained fiscal solvency novel financing techniques helping tenants to become homeowners and a successful venture in self-help and tenant management in crime-infested neighborhoods. The successes stem from the diverse community roles of Yale University a medical center the world's largest research organization the Clorox Company a gas company an insurance company a newspaper neighborhood and downtown organizations city governments and two religious organizations - the Mormon Church and the tiny Church of the Savior. These stories are located throughout the United States including Akron Baltimore Brooklyn Cincinnati Cleveland Columbus Fort Wayne Indianapolis Milwaukee New Haven Oakland Pittsburgh St. Louis St. Paul Salt Lake City Springfield Mass. Tampa and Washington D. C. The editors have gathered the work of professionals known in the field of urban studies: James W. Rouse Donald E. Lasater Rolf Goetze Dale F. Bertsch Joel Lieske Eugene H. Methvin James E. Kunde T. Michael Smith Robert Mier Carol Davidow Jay Chatterjee June Manning Thomas Norman Krumholz Larry C. Ledebur and Robert C. Holland. | Rebuilding America's Cities
