While there are several recent books on this emerging field,
Veterinary Forensic Medicine and Forensic Sciences sets the bar,
covering all relevant aspects in a succinct, easy-to-read,
comprehensive format designed to be taught in a single-semester
course. Intended to be the premier textbook on veterinary forensic
sciences, the book covers the application of veterinary forensic
medicine to cases, including the medical perspective as well as law
enforcement response, crime scene management, and evidence recovery
issues. Coverage includes the scientific and legal principles for
veterinary forensic evidence. This clearly delineates it from
veterinary-only practices, since the forensic aspects present
additional challenges that include evidence recovery and
preservation, report writing, and maintaining an evidentiary chain
of custody, all the way through expert witness testimony. Some
emerging topics that are covered include DNA and genetic evidence,
entomological evidence in support of veterinary forensics, animal
fighting, situational deaths, including poisonings, domestic
violence, and cruelty, sharp and blunt force trauma, gunshot and
wound ballistics, sexual assault, nonhuman odontology and
osteology, and more. Features Details a process for forensic
