Pediatric Homicide: Medical Investigation de Karen Griest

Pediatric Homicide: Medical Investigation

Editat de Karen Griest
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 sep 2009
Pediatric homicide investigations are clouded by a number of factors, not the least of which is a lack of straightforward resources. The cause of death in infants and children is often subtle and difficult to establish. Designed for quick access, Pediatric Homicide: Medical Investigation provides an invaluable resource for medical examiners, police, child abuse investigators, and attorneys charged with either making or ruling out the diagnosis of homicide.
Focusing on forensic pathology aspects, this book covers the causes of death which are most difficult to determine, including:
  • head injury
  • asphyxiation
  • drowning
  • abdominal trauma
  • poisoning
  • starvation and dehydration
With contributions by a team of expert pathologists, the book provides a scientific foundation for diagnosing homicide, discusses methods to determine the timing of injuries and death, and reviews the legal requirements for presenting evidence in court. More than 100 photographs enhance the text and clarify the source of injury in these difficult cases.

Recenzii

I found this an interesting and easy book to read and it has provided me with a source of references for further reading, some of which have subsequently proven useful. The book aims to provide a scientific basis for the diagnoses of inflicted injury and death in infants and young children, which I think it achieves, despite being a (reassuringly) compact text. I would certainly recommend this book to doctors involved in paediatric medicolegal work, particularly forensic and paediatric pathologists, but also to clinicians working in paediatric medicine or surgery.
—Dr Matt Lyall, Specialist Registrar in Forensic Pathology, Royal Liverpool University Hospital, writing in The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, October 2010, No. 152

I can heartily recommend this book to medical examiners, the police personnel of all levels, child abuse investigators, and attorneys charged with either making or ruling out the diagnosis of homicide. I would imagine that it is going to be an invaluable resource for them.
—Anil Aggrawal's Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology

Descriere

Pediatric homicide investigations are often clouded by a number of factors, not the least of which is a lack of straightforward information. Designed for quick access, this volume provides an invaluable resource for medical examiners, police, child abuse investigators, and attorneys. Focusing on forensic pathology aspects, this book covers all typical causes of death, including asphyxiation, intentional drowning, abdominal trauma, head injury, poisoning, and intentional starvation. Each of the chapters considers medical and investigative difficulties associated with that particular cause, includes illustrative photographs, and provides the means to confirm the diagnosis.
