A comprehensive examination of all critical aspects of Disaster
Victim Identification (DVI) As the frequency of both natural and
man-made mass fatality disasters increases worldwide, the
establishment of clear standards and best practices within the
field of Disaster Victim identification (DVI) is of vital
importance. Whereas most countries assign jurisdiction to law
enforcement agencies following Interpol guidelines, DVI is the
responsibility of the medical examiner and coroner in the United
States. Disaster Victim Identification in the 21st Century is the
first book of its kind to directly address the needs of DVI
practitioners in the United States, covering the full spectrum of
DVI from traditional methods such as fingerprints, odontology, and
anthropology to advanced DNA identification technology. Approaching
DVI from three perspectives--academic, government, and private
industry--this comprehensive volume examines the history and
current state of the discipline, the ongoing formation of national
standards, the various methods of human identification, and the key
challenges and future of DVI. In-depth chapters are written by
leaders in the field with personal experience in human
identification and mass fatality events. Provides practitioners
with practical guidance on planning and taking part in DVI based on
current national standards and best practices Discusses continued
improvement in both traditional and emerging DVI methods Includes
non-region-specific case studies and recommendations that can be
easily adapted for international use Examines ethical and legal
considerations in DVI, including suggestions for standardizing the
victim identification process Describes the critical role of the
Victim Information Center (VIC) in providing the comparative
information required to go beyond presumptive identifications Part
of the American Association for Forensic Sciences (AAFS) series,
Disaster Victim Identification in the 21st Century: A US
Perspective is an indispensable resource for forensic scientists,
disaster planners, policymakers, medical examiners and coroners,
law enforcement and emergency personnel, and upper-level
undergraduate and graduate students in forensic sciences and
emergency management.
