Recenzii

" Dr. Aggrawal proceeds as a dispassionate scientist to unearth … both contemporary and historical cases that will amaze the reader, and also construct for the first time a classification of various kinds of necrophilia. … Along with his previous textbook, Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices, Dr. Aggrawal has once again made a very important contribution to the criminal forensic literature. Necrophilia is extreme, it is rare, and it is inexplicable to most; but until now, it has also been devoid of a systematic, scientific, and investigative text…. ."
— From the Foreword by J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego

Descriere

The author of Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crime and Unusual Sexual Practices turns his attention to necrophilia with this in-depth international study. History, etiological aspects, classification, epidemiology, and offender characteristics are covered as the volume reviews expert literature on the subject. Of major focus are the legal aspects of necrophilia, where laws of most nations relating to necrophilia are discussed, compared, and contrasted. The book uses a number of actual case studies to illustrate principles and approaches to defining laws and conducting investigations in this area.
