Reviewer: Leslie Zun, MD (Mt. Sinai Hospital Medical Center)

Description: This is an excellent reference to fill the knowledge gap of emergency physicians in the area of forensic emergency medicine. Diverse, but rather complete content is provided including a chapter on forensic photography.

Purpose: The authors intended to provide a reference on the new field of forensic emergency medicine. For the most part, they have met all of their objectives and more.

Audience: The book is written primarily for practicing emergency physicians. The authors assembled a diverse group of contributing authors.

Features: A number of subject areas are covered. Unique areas covered include interviewing techniques, description of perpetrators, testifying, law enforcement, and photography. The book has a limited number of wonderful photographs. The only shortcomings are the lack of information on failure to thrive in children and a limited description of victims of violence.

Assessment: This is a wonderful addition to an emergency medicine library and should find its place next to the color atlas on child abuse and assault. It fills a number of gaps on the literature of emergency medicine.

In addition, the contributors discuss relevant aspects of the legal system, and provide guidance to medical personnel on testifying in court. Topics include perpetrators, interviewing techniques, forensic examination of victims and perpetrators of sexual assault, elder abuse, law enforcement, and forensic photography. Annotation c.
