Forensic evidence is often crucial to the result of legal proceedings, but the significance of forensic medicine extends far beyond the criminal trial. This new edition has been substantially rewritten. Chapters have been added reflecting advances in technology during the past decade. Other new chapters cover statutory provisions dealing with problems which were unknown, or did not loom large when the first edition was published. The book now provides the essential information required by medical and allied professionals to understand the issues presented by the legal and ethical framework within which they practise. "...a splendid work of the highest quality...its practical approach to problems in the field and an extensive bibliography give it a worldwide usefulness" - The late Professor Keith Simpson in a review of the first edition
