Both fascinating and practical, this book explains everything from who the experts are in death investigation and what their roles are, to how effective testimonies are presented in court. It devotes a separate section to the importance of forensic DNA testing. With numerous photographs, case studies, frequently asked questions, and a medical terminology glossary, this guide provides a concise overview of forensic pathology to those who wish to know the basics but lack formal forensic training.
This book is an excellent resource for a variety of readers who are involved with criminal investigations but don't really have all the tools and training of a full-time medical examiner. In my case, as a crime author, the text was an invaluable reference, putting some highly technical material into easily digested context. Recommended for laymen of all kinds who need a good reference work on forensic pathology.
