This concise yet comprehensive guide to forensic medicine is in use throughout the English-speaking world. It is written primarily for medical students, but doctors, lawyers, scientists and police will also find it useful as a simple working handbook. This 10th edition aims to increase its international relevance by concentrating on general principles of forensic medicine that know no national restrictions. The general plan of earlier editions has been retained, but the detail has been radically revised in the light of new advances, and many new topics have been added. The ethical duties of doctors have been emphasized, including their attitude to abuse of human rights and the increasing problem of medical malpractice and professional misconduct.
