· In many developing countries, however, the doctors who are assigned this task are not trained to perform such autopsies. This book provides clear guidelines regarding the practical aspects of such investigations.

· A specific plan of investigation that includes details about the preparations that must be made prior to the arrival at the accident site, tasks that need to be performed at the site and the procedures for the collection and analysis of evidence and specimens are provided.
