Objective, unbiased, scientific, expert report and opinion contributes immensely to the administration of justice. But such a requirement cannot be achieved without adequate training of the professionals who are involved in the administration of justice.


This is the first time in Malaysia a book has been written which includes forensic medicine and forensic science. Forensic Medicine and Science for Malaysian Lawyers deals with areas that are commonly confronted in the day-to-day practice of doctors, lawyers, judges, police officers and scientists. The Malaysian scenario is taken into consideration and special emphasis is made to deal with local situation and issues.

The book also highlights the practical difficulties and problems encountered in interpreting various findings and equips the professionals who utilise the knowledge of forensic medicine and science. To further assist the readers to have a better understanding of the subjects, many colour photographs have been included along with detailed captions and references to reading materials.
