Lehrbuch der Gerichtlichen Medicin

This comprehensive forensic medicine textbook begins with legal and procedural guidance for expert witnesses and court physicians under German and Austrian statutes, then examines clinical and medico-legal topics: sexual function and unlawful intercourse, pregnancy, abortion and childbirth, classifications and diagnosis of injuries and causes of violent death, asphyxia, temperature extremes, and poisoning with toxicological methods, plus medico-legal analysis of infant death and identity. It also covers forensic techniques for external and internal examination, evidence collection, reporting, and courtroom duties, and concludes with forensic psychiatry and assessments of criminal responsibility and civil capacity.
