New techniques for the forensic and industrial analyst

Abstract

A joint meeting of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Association of Consulting Scientists and the Forensic Science Society was held on 14 February 1987 at St John's Hall, Monck Street, London SW1. The morning session was chaired by Dr RL Williams, Director of the Metropolitan Police Forensic Science Laboratory, and the afternoon session by Mr WG Simpson, President of the Association of Consulting Scientists. In his introduction, Dr Williams expressed the hope that the coming together of the various areas of interest represented in the programme would be productive for all those involved. Mr Simpson closed the meeting with the observation that the title had reflected well the pattern of new and varied techniques presented.
