By Lester Adelson, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. With a Foreword by Samuel R. Gerber. The author provides a distillation of his more than two decades of experience with the medicolegal aspects of homicide investigation. The "know how" as well as the "know why" of homicide investigation is considered. Topics covered include homicide and the pathologist, postmortem examination and medicolegal autopsy, clock and calendar in homicide investigation, criminal abortion, and homicide by firearms, stabbing, etc. The social, historical, judicial, moral, economic and humanitarian ramifications of the mounting number of homicides justify the appearance of this volume.
