Critics Review
This is a gem of a book…The chapters on the diagnosis and definition of psychiatric disorder, interpretation of toxicology…and road traffic law…are alone worth the cost of the book. This brilliant book is a must-have for any practitioner who requires quick reference to forensic medicine.
The Oxford Handbook of Forensic Medicine is an essential must have for all forensic practitioners… Despite having been written for the Forensic Medical Examiner (FME), the topics covered have a great deal of relevance for all practitioners. The book shares relevance for both custody and sexual offence colleagues alike. * UK Association of Forensic Nursing Newsletter *
