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.
