SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Forensic Medical Investigation of Motor Vehicle Incidents provides an in-depth study of the circumstances underlying motor vehicle incidents and allows for a reasoned analysis of a crash victim's injuries. In addition, it gives law enforcement the tools to communicative relevant information to the forensic pathologists and trains them to infer crucial clues to the scenario that they may then relate to the investigating officers."--Jacket.
