The human foot is a complex body part composed of fifty-two bones,
which is twenty-five percent of all the bones in the body.
Nonetheless, the foot is often viewed by the public and doctors as
a "minor" body part. Similarly, the importance of pedal evidence in
crime investigation has also long been undervalued, but as footwear
evidence has become more commonly used in forensic situations, so
has pedal evidence, which is why this seminal work is so important:
it is the first textbook ever dedicated to forensic podiatry.
Forensic Podiatry is an international compilation of current
practices authored by the pioneers in the field. Part I discusses
general forensic concerns, including those at the crime scene, from
an informative perspective. It covers tasks performed by the crime
laboratory, forensic podiatry principles, and various aspects of
human identification. Part II deals with specific forensic
podiatric concerns such as photographic techniques, bare footprint
identification, and footwear examination and analysis. It also
discusses forensic gate and analysis as well as the identification
of pedal remains from podiatry records, which is important for mass
disaster scenes. Part III presents actual forensic podiatry case
studies from the United Kingdom and the United States, and Part IV
focuses on podiatry practice standards, which in many instances
parallel expert witness responsibilities. Groundbreaking and
essential, this book is useful for medical and criminal justice
students as well as podiatrists, criminalists, footwear examiners,
forensic anthropologists, attorneys and investigators.
Forensic Podiatry: Principles and Methods, Second Edition has been
completely updated to reflect the latest developments and
advancements in this changing field. New additions to the book,
from the previous edition, include all new chapters on the expert
witness, Frye Test, and Daubert Standard, as well as revised
theories on gait analysis, bare footprint identification, and
footwear examination. The new edition includes extensive case
studies and an international compilation of current best practices.
Since this text's first publication, the field of forensic podiatry
has rapidly developed from relative obscurity to a dynamic,
internationally recognized discipline. Forensic podiatrists have
been able to advance improvements in the field, both in widening
the range of applications and deepening the practice through
improved techniques to strengthen evidentiary conclusions. Written
by two pioneers in the field, Forensic Podiatry includes over one
hundred detailed illustrations to serve as an invaluable resource
for students, practicing forensic podiatrists, legal professionals
and those new to the profession.
