Introduction to Veterinary and Comparative Forensic Medicine is a pioneering work in an emerging specialty, reflecting the growing demand for expert veterinary input in legal and forensic contexts. The book addresses key areas such as wildlife conservation, animal welfare and alleged cruelty, insurance, certification, malpractice, and the identification of live or deceased animals and animal-derived materials.
It also examines current concerns regarding potential links between animal abuse and domestic violence. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on the importance of a systematic and thorough approach to forensic investigation. A notable feature of the book is its practical focus, offering protocols for managing common forensic problems, supported by case studies, appendices, and an extensive bibliography.
This book serves as an essential reference for veterinary professionals, legal practitioners, enforcement agencies, and welfare and conservation organizations. Its comparative perspective also provides valuable insight for those working in human forensic medicine and the biological sciences.
