Details

The Fifteenth Edition of Simpson's Forensic Medicine provides an overview of all that is relevant in practice at the interface between medicine and law. Its long-standing reputation as one of the world's leading introductory texts in the field of forensic & legal medicine is reflected by easy-to-read and informative text, complemented by numerous colour images, tables and figures.

Identifying current forensic & legal medicine practice, the comprehensive coverage encompasses all aspects of forensic pathology, clinical forensic medicine, legal medicine and highlights contemporary topics such as non-fatal strangulation, deaths in custody, safeguarding, intimate-partner violence as well as subjects such as asphyxial deaths, the impact of heat, cold and electrical trauma and immersion and drowning.

Forensic & legal medicine is intimately involved with the criminal and civil justice systems including family law. Forensic & legal medicine and forensic science are closely linked and for all those whose work brings them into contact with such subjects, Simpson's provides an immediate source of accessible knowledge. Students and practitioners in such settings can understand how their area of work or study interrelates and interacts with others in different settings. Simpson's is, therefore, a textbook of choice for those studying forensic & legal medicine or forensic science, and for forensic practitioners, law students, law enforcement personnel, healthcare professionals and judges, coroners and other legal professionals.
