Pediatric Homicide (eBook, ePUB)

Medical Investigation

Produktbeschreibung

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.
