Forensic Epidemiology

By Steven A. Koehler and Peggy A. Brown

Book Overview

Forensic epidemiology provides an investigative response to public health issues and events that may be linked to criminal activities. After the events of 9/11, the field emerged as a leading tool of investigation, partnering public health officers with law enforcement like never before. This book demonstrates the important role of forensic epidemiology in public health, the medical community, and the legal system. Emphasizing the importance of understanding the terminology and procedures of each field in order to work together effectively, the text explains methods to collect, analyze, and interpret data for criminal investigations using a variety of illustrations and real-world case studies.
