Book Description
Disaster management has become an increasingly global issue, and victim identification is receiving greater attention. By raising awareness through past events and experiences, practitioners and policymakers can learn what works, what doesn’t work, and how to avoid future mistakes. Disaster Victim Identification: Experience and Practice presents a selection of key historical incidents in the United Kingdom and includes candid discussions of potential areas for improvement in preparedness and future deployment capabilities. Real disasters and lessons learned Each chapter in the book addresses a specific disaster and covers a number of main points in relation to the incident. For each event, the book presents data such as the manpower available at the time of the disaster, the number of officers involved in the deployment, and their relevant experience at the time. Details of the disaster follow, as well as the recovery and identification methods employed, the number of fatalities and casualties, and lessons learned. The book also explores the short- and long-term effects that the disaster had on the response team and the community. Finally, each chapter examines important present-day developments in relation to the event. The book summarizes important aspects of the particular disaster in terms of legislative, moral, practical, or other contribution to the field of mass disaster planning, preparation, and deployment on a wider scale. Global input Viewing disaster management from a global perspective, this volume contains the combined input of academics, forensic specialists, trainers, and law enforcement professionals who focus on actual cases to honestly assess events and provide recommendations for improvement.

Book Description
Forensic Entomology deals with the use of insects and other arthropods in medico legal investigations. We are sure that many people know this or a similar definition, maybe even already read a scientific or popular book dealing with this topic. So, do we really need another book on Forensic Entomology? The answer is 13, 29, 31, 38, and 61. These are not some golden bingo numbers, but an excerpt of the increasing amount of annual publications in the current decade dealing with Forensic Entomology. Comparing them with 89 articles which were published d- ing the 1990s it illustrates the growing interest in this very special intersection of Forensic Science and Entomology and clearly underlines the statement: Yes, we need this book because Forensic Entomology is on the move with so many new things happening every year. One of the most attractive features of Forensic Entomology is that it is multid- ciplinary. There is almost no branch in natural science which cannot find its field of activity here. The chapters included in this book highlight this variety of researches and would like to give the impetus for future work, improving the dev- opment of Forensic Entomology, which is clearly needed by the scientific com- nity. On its way to the courtrooms of the world this discipline needs a sound and serious scientific background to receive the acceptance it deserves.

Book Description
Pendant longtemps, il a été dit et considéré que le Pr Oscar Amoëdo y Valdes, dentiste exerçant en France et de naissance cubaine, était le père de l'Odontologie médico-légale dans notre pays grâce à son livre monumental paru en 1898. Il a été également considéré que la première "affaire" ayant mis cette science en évidence au grand public était l'incendie du Bazar de la Charité (1897). Tout ceci est inexact. À travers les nombreuses affaires criminelles qui se sont multipliées à la fin du XIXe siècle, Xavier Riaud parvient à retracer la genèse précise de cette discipline et le rôle bâtisseur de tous ses acteurs. S'il réussit à déterminer qui est son vrai père fondateur, il démontre également quelle a été la première grande affaire citée par tous les auteurs. Ces "Sherlock Holmes" français sont à la base de la médecine légale contemporaine et ne déméritent en rien, par leur rigueur et leurs procédés, face aux experts actuels.

Book Description
La médecine légale est présente dans de nombreux domaines scientifiques, et fait régulièrement la Une des médias, que ce soit par le dévoilement de diverses affaires criminelles les plus sordides, par les grandes catastrophes, qu’elles soient naturelles ou engendrées par le développement des transports de toute nature, et enfin par l’existence d’éliminations massives, génocidaires ou terroristes. La médecine légale a au cours du temps acquis ses lettres de noblesse mais il est encore nécessaire pour elle de se développer et d’aboutir à une spécialisation complète et reconnue comme telle à l’instar des autres disciplines médicales. Ce développement doit se réaliser tant au niveau de l’enseignement qu’au niveau de l’organisation et il reste un long chemin à parcourir. Outre la nécessité de disposer d’infrastructures médico-légales bien équipées, s’impose également une nécessaire systématisation des examens post mortem en cas de mort subite inexpliquée, de mort suspecte d’intervention de tiers, de mort violente involontaire et volontaire en ce y compris tous les accidents de transport. Nous rejoignons en cela la recommandation n°R(99)3 du Comité des Ministres aux États Membres, relative à l'harmonisation des règles en matière d'autopsie médico-légale (Beauthier, 2004; Comité des Ministres, 1999; Quatrehomme et Rougé, 2003). C’est la seule manière de concevoir l’amélioration de la connaissance des différentes facettes concernant la personne lésée, et donc la bonne administration de la justice dont le médecin légiste est un auxiliaire.
