Book description
Biomechanics is the application of mechanical principles to living
organisms, and it is one of the most exciting and fastest growing
research areas. In forensic science, it is biomechanics that explains
trauma to the body at a crime scene or the fracture of fibers and
textiles, and helps interpret blood spatter.
Forensic Biomechanics
is a comprehensive overview of the role of biomechanics in forensics.
Well-illustrated with real-life case studies, and using a
multidisciplinary approach, this unique book is an invaluable reference
for practicing forensic scientists, lawyers, and researchers.
