Forensic Pathology: Preventing Wrongs

by Satish C. Sekar, Michael Mansfield (Foreword)

This book details how modern investigations of homicides have evolved. While once they were dominated by forensic pathology, exemplified by the controversial Professor Sir Bernard Spilsbury, major scientific developments have not only made murder investigations more accurate but have proved a valuable weapon in the campaign against miscarriages of justice. Forensic Pathology — Preventing Wrongs is the first of a three-part examination of the issues arising from this contentious area of forensic science. It argues that the integrated approach, and understanding of both the limits of forensic pathology and also its advantages is essential if justice is to be delivered and injustice prevented. Nothing demonstrates the value of the changes more powerfully than the cases detailed — new information is detailed here. The integrated approach could have prevented injustices from happening. Forensic Pathology — Preventing Wrongs shows that these issues affect other jurisdictions too.
