Excerpt from A d104-Book of Legal Medicine This volume is prepared and published, primarily, as a help to medical students interested in Legal Medicine, but it is adapted as well to the needs of practitioners who wish to have the latest advances in Medical Jurisprudence at their service. The writer has ventured to cite illustrative cases for his text from the standard treatises of Forensic Medicine, and to these authors he desires to express his obligations; these he has supplemented with details from his own personal experience, which has been exceptionally full during the past twenty-eight years, as a medical examiner for the city of Boston, his investigations having comprised during that period over eight thousand deaths, under a suspicion of violence. The departments of Toxicology and of the Medico-legal Relations of Psychiatry have been purposely omitted from the volume, inasmuch as they have acquired an importance deserving, in each instance, independent treatment by specialists. The author makes no apology for limiting himself to Massachusetts Statutes in his citations of the law, believing, as he does, that these citations represent the most progressive and most intelligent expression of modern jurisprudence.

This is a comprehensive reference text that examines the current state of Legal Medicine, which encompasses Forensic Medicine, in the 21st century. It examines the scope of both legal and forensic medicine, its application and study and has adopted a wide ranging approach including multinational authorship. It reviews the differences between and similarities of forensic and legal medicine, the need for academic qualification, the applications to many and varied fields including international aid, military medicine, health law and the application of medical knowledge to both criminal law and tort/civil law, sports medicine and law, gender and age related factors from obstetrics through to geriatrics and palliative care as well as cultural differences exploring the Christian/Judeo approach compared with that within Islamic cultures, Buddhism and Hinduism. The book looks at practical applications of legal medicine within various international and intercultural frameworks. This is a seminal authoritative text in legal and forensic medicine. It has a multi-author and multinational approach which crosses national boundaries. There is a great interest in the development of health law and legal medicine institutes around the world and this text comes in on the ground floor of this burgeoning discipline and provides the foundation text for many courses, both undergraduate and postgraduate. It defines the place of legal medicine as a specialized discipline.
