Evidence by the Body: Real Stories of a Forensic Expert about Working with Victims and Suspects

The author of the bestseller «Autopsy Will Show» Alexey Reshetun in his new book tells about the lesser-known side of the forensic expert profession — working with the living. After all, a forensic expert deals not only with the dead,... but also with victims and those affected by domestic conflicts, drunken quarrels, traffic accidents, and robbery attacks.

What does it mean to «document injuries» and how is harm to health determined? What difficulties does a forensic expert face during an examination and why is it necessary for him to be a good psychologist? The author intersperses instructive, funny, and absurd cases from his experience in the outpatient clinic with stories about how the nature of abrasions and bruises can help solve crimes and examples from literature. He also explains why humanity and compassion help us preserve life and health.
