Series: Oxford Medical Handbooks

Forensic medicine covers an amazing range of different subjects and no single individual can expect to be an expert in all of them. The Oxford Handbook of Forensic Medicine provides comprehensive coverage of all areas within this complex discipline.

Written for specialists and non-specialists alike, it will appeal to practising forensic scientists, as well as lawyers, police officers, and forensic science students.

It shows how forensic medicine has been used in specific cases enabling the reader to apply their knowledge in real life.

A detailed glossary of medical terms helps those without medical training to understand medical reports and practices. This easily-portable guide is essential reading for the busy clinical forensic doctor or nurse, and others working at the interface between medicine and law.

Reviews for Oxford Handbook of Forensic Medicine

This is a gem of a book...The chapters on the diagnosis and definition of psychiatric disorder, interpretation of toxicology...and road traffic law...are alone worth the cost of the book. This brilliant book is a must-have for any practitioner who requires quick reference to forensic medicine. The Oxford Handbook of Forensic Medicine is an essential must have for all forensic practitioners... Despite having been written for the Forensic Medical Examiner (FME), the topics covered have a great deal of relevance for all practitioners. The book shares relevance for both custody and sexual offence colleagues alike. * UK Association of Forensic Nursing Newsletter *
