Illustrating how shari'a was actually implemented, how criminal justice functioned, and how scientific-medical knowledges and practices were introduced, Khaled Fahmy offers exciting new interpretations that are neither colonial nor nationalist. Moreover he shows how lower-class Egyptians did not see modern practices that fused medical and legal purposes in new ways as contrary to Islam. This is a major contribution to our understanding of Islam and modernity.

Forensic Anthropology - Contemporary Theory and Practice (Hardcover, New): Debra Komar, Jane Buikstra Forensic Anthropology - Contemporary Theory and Practice (Hardcover, New)
Debra Komar, Jane Buikstra
R2,291 Discovery Miles 22 910 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Forensic anthropology is a vastly popular and rapidly changing profession, yet to date there has been no volume that reflects the current state of the discipline and forecasts its future. The first comprehensive text in the field, Forensic Anthropology: Contemporary Theory and Practice examines the medical, legal, ethical, and humanitarian issues associated with forensic anthropology, current forensic methods, and bio-historical investigations. Forensic Anthropology offers a unique synthesis of theoretical and methodological coverage. Rather than simply describing methodology, Komar and Buikstra place forensic anthropology in the broader context of medico-legal death investigations, critically evaluating practical techniques in a scientific framework and detailing the anthropologist's role in relation to both law enforcement and the medical examiner or coroner. The authors review the current state of the field, emphasizing recent changes to the judicial guidelines regarding the admissibility of scientific evidence in court. They highlight the impact of these rulings, the increased need for scientific rigor, and the evolving nature of anthropological studies, preparing students to function effectively in the demanding judicial system that will evaluate their work in the future. The text also stresses the vital importance of research in the development of forensic applications of anthropology. Forensic Anthropology is enhanced by numerous illustrative case studies and more than ninety photos and illustrations that help to deepen and enrich students' understanding of the material. Coauthored by a top authority in forensic anthropology and an anthropologist whose fieldwork has included medico-legal death investigation in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Darfur, this volume is an in-depth and indispensable guide to the dynamic and rapidly professionalizing field of forensic anthropology.

The Paraphilias - Changing Suits in the Evolution of Sexual Interest Paradigms (Hardcover): J. Paul Fedoroff The Paraphilias - Changing Suits in the Evolution of Sexual Interest Paradigms (Hardcover)
J. Paul Fedoroff
R2,642 Discovery Miles 26 420 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Of the thousands of papers and books about problematic sexual behaviors, most focus solely on sex crimes or so-called "hyper-sexuality" or "sexual addiction." Together, these publications present a grim and pessimistic prognosis for anyone who has unusual sexual interests of any type. This book challenges that view by providing a more informed and balanced review of what is known and what is not known about unconventional sexual interests. It is based on approximately thirty years of experience by the author concerning the assessment and treatment of paraphilias and unconventional sexual interests. The Paraphilias: Changing Suits in the Evolution of Sexual Interest Paradigms examines current and past perspectives concerning unconventional sexual interests associated with both criminal and non-criminal activities. Extensively referenced, it challenges the dogma that sexual interests are immutably determined during a single critical period and are thereafter unchangeable. The book provides extensive case histories and tables summarizing over 100 paraphilias and the latest research regarding them. It also reviews diagnostic criteria for the paraphilias. Analyses of current and past paradigms are presented together with new ways to understand, investigate, and provide meaningful and effective assistance to people with paraphilias. It is written for mental health clinicians and specialists in the fields of sexology and forensic psychiatry and psychology.

Michael Davies
R2,306 Discovery Miles 23 060 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Medical law is now a distinct and important legal subject. The rights and duties of the medical profession and the increasing human rights demands of patients ensures medical law continues to be one of the most dynamic and challenging subjects for study and debate. Since the publication of the first edition of this book, medical law has had to confront a series of cases concerning one of the most intractable issues of our time, the termination of patients' lives in distressing conditions. Since the momentous House of Lords' decision in the case of Anthony Bland, a victim of the Hillsborough Stadium disaster, the medical law courts have had to react to changes in medical technology which can increase a patient's life-span whilst inspiring strong ethical dilemmas. Medical research has recently pioneered the technology to clone the human species as well as transplant organs from animals to humans. These are just a sample of current matters considered in the second edition of Textbook on Medical Law, which remains both a description and an evaluation of the law as it stands and is an aid to understanding the core principles which guide the future development of that law.

Forensic scientists apply scientific analysis in a legal context and play a vital role in solving crimes. Sometimes the collection of forensic evidence is the only way to establish or exclude an association between suspect and victim or crime scene, or to establish a likely order of events. Profiting from recent scientific developments and the advancement of technological equipment, forensic science is a rapidly evolving discipline that encompasses many sciences and the law. This dictionary covers in over 1300 entries the key concepts within forensic science, including a wide array of relevant specialist terms from areas such as chemistry, biology, anthropology, art, engineering, firearms, toolmarks, trace evidence, crime scene investigation, case history, biographies of investigators and criminals, as well as forensic computing. Ranging from crime scene to fibers and fluorescence to RAM, this new dictionary is the most up-to-date of its kind and is international in scope. Entry-level web links to online resources are listed and regularly updated on a companion website, expanding the scope of the dictionary and pointing to more in-depth supplementary material. Many entries are complemented by case examples (Dr Crippen, Mary Ann Cotton, etc.), figures, and photographs, which makes this A to Z an ideal reference for students of forensic science, as well as professionals and those with an interest in forensics.

Bei uber 95 % aller Verstorbenen in Deutschland bestehen nach wie vor keine autoptisch gesicherten Erkenntnisse uber die eigentliche Todesursache und etwaige Begleiterkrankungen. Die auf einer solchen unsicheren Datenlage beruhenden gesundheitspolitischen Entscheidungen zu Disease-Management-Programmen, zu Pravention und strukturellen Massnahmen der Krankenversorgung entsprechen damit nicht der erforderlichen Evidenz. Dies hat zugleich negative Auswirkungen auf die Qualitat arztlicher Diagnostik und Therapie und somit auf die Patientensicherheit. Zudem machen es die sehr unterschiedlichen Rechtsgrundlagen in den Landesgesetzen uber das Leichen-, Bestattungs- und Friedhofswesen den betroffenen Angehoerigen und den Mediziner in der praktischen Umsetzung der oft widerstreitenden Interessen nicht leicht. Die klinische und anatomische Sektion ist nach derzeit allgemeiner Meinung auch im wissenschaftlichen Interesse oder zu Ausbildungszwecken ohne Zustimmung des Verstorbenen oder seiner Angehoerigen unzulassig. Die medizinische Forschungs- und Ausbildungssituation wird durch diese Zustimmungsloesung nachhaltig beeintrachtigt; eine erweiterte Widerspruchsloesung koennte hierbei viele Hindernisse in der praktischen Handhabung beseitigen. Die DGMR hat sich in ihren aktuellen Empfehlungen daher fur eine gesetzliche Abkopplung der postmortalen Gewebespende von der Organtransplantation im Transplantationsgesetz ausgesprochen, um die seit Jahren niedrige Obduktionsquote in Deutschland nachhaltig zu verbessern. Der vorliegende Tagungsband gibt die Referate und die Empfehlungen der DGMR zur Obduktion und postmortalen Gewebespende wieder.

Obwohl der Mensch im naturlichen phylogenetischen System der Organismen keine Sonderstellung einnimmt, kommt ibm aufgrund seiner doppelten Geschichtlichkeit eine AusnahmesteUung zu. Ziel palaoanthropologischer Forschung ist es, den Prozess der Menschwerdung als komplexen psycho physischen Adaptationsprozess zu verstehen und zum Selbstverstandnis des Menschen beizutragen. Moderne palaoanthropologische Forschung ist damit wesentlich mehr als nur Fossilkunde, namlich ein multidisziplinarer Ansatz. Da die Palaoanthropologie in den bei den letzten Dezennien durch zahlreiche neue Daten, Befunde und Denkansatze gepragt wurde, die zu vielfliltigen Modell bildungen, z. B. zur Evolutionsokologie der fruhesten Hominiden oder zur Entstehung des anatomisch modernen Menschen, Anlass gaben, fehlt im deutsch sprachigen Raum ein aktuelles Lehrbuch der Palaoanthropologie. Der vorliegende Band, der in einen methodischen (Kap. 2 -4) und einen angewandten Teil (Kap. 5 -8) gegliedert ist, soll diese Lucke schliessen. Das inhaltliche Konzept fusst auf der Lehrpraxis der Autoren auf dem Gebiet der Palaoanthropologie und -primatologie sowie auf vielfliltigen sachbezogenen Anregungen der angesprochenen Leserschaft, insbesondere der Studenten der Anthropologie und der Biologielehrer. Text- und Abbildungsumfang wurden gleichgewichtig behandelt, wobei versucht wurde, die gesamte Bandbreite der Denkansatze und Modellvorstellungen zur Stammesgeschichte des Menschen zu integrieren und ihr Fur und Wider abzuwagen. Der Band soU den Leser letztlich in die Lage versetzen, stammesgeschichtliche Aussagen, die prinzipiell nur Modellcharakter haben, kritisch zu bewerten und eigene Forschungsfragen und -strategien zu entwickeln.

Good record keeping is essential in medicine, a point often stressed by the defence organizations. A & E records are frequently very bad - which may cause medicological problems as well as impairing effective patient care. The reason is inexperience. This book explains what it is important to record (and why) and gives examples.

Good records are essential in A & E. This book explains the reasons for keeping good records and describes how A & E records should be kept, both in general terms nad emphasizing the essential information to be recorded with different mechanisms of injury and in different anatomical sites. Some performas for collecting information on examination, especially orthopaedic and neurological examination, but none which specifically covers record-keeping or even discusses it other than to stress its importance. There are pamphlets for medical students often provided by individual medical schools, but these just cover general medicine and surgery.

Psychopathologie wird dadurch zur interdisziplinaren Wissenschaft, dass sie spezifisch psychopathologische Fragen, wie die nach der Schuldfahigkeit, systematisch beantworten kann. Bislang unterstellten psychiatrische Phanomenologen quasi-objektive, "reine" Inhalte geistiger Art ("Wesensschau"), die nur beschrieben, in ihrer grenzenlosen Vielfalt aber systematisch erfasst werden konnen. Gleichwohl wurden sie den im forensischen Dialog eingefuhrten Begriffen zugrundegelegt. Erkenntnistheoretische Besinnung geht von Kant aus und zeigt, dass Phanomene dem Erkennen nicht fertig vorgegeben sind, sondern (in der Sprache) hergestellt werden. Erst durch Untersuchung der Herstellungsprinzipien wird Phanomenologie formalisiert und Psychopathologie - mit den uber ihre praktische Brauchbarkeit entscheidenden Kontrollmoglichkeiten - systematisch. Das Buch tragt den Entwicklungen der letzten 15 Jahre auf dem Gebiet der forensischen Psychiatrie Rechnung. Es erfullt die Funktion eines grundlegenden Lehrbuches der gerichtlichen Psychologie und Psychiatrie.

R4,587 Discovery Miles 45 870 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Forensic Pharmacology offers a unique and comprehensible account of pharmacological methods and knowledge, and how to use them to solve problems in crimes from drunken driving to murder. It also deals with negligence in giving drugs, and adverse reactions to drugs. The text is enlivened by cases from the literature and from the authors' experience. Appendices give detailed examples of pharmacological problems and their solutions; tables and equations for alcohol calculations; and data for medicines encountered in forensic work.

Experts do not always understand what lawyers want of them, and lawyers fail to appreciate that experts in medicine and pharmacology may not be experts in the law. The section entitled 'legal considerations' was written by a barrister with wide experience of using expert evidence and explains clearly the legal principles. It also contains some helpful hints on how to deal with court procedure and adversarial lawyers.
