"The Forensic Medico Legal Manual for East Africa aims at enhancing the capacity of various groups of professionals to accurately assess and document cases of physical and psychological trauma. Specifically, the manual targets medical and forensic experts, legal practitioners and psychological counsellors. It seeks to address cases of forensic pathology, recent events including terrorism, torture, mass fatality incidences and cases of sexual violence (rape, sodomy, defilement) among others, with a view to ensuring quality investigations and procedures. The manual is also highly recommended as a reference text and resource for teaching forensic studies in colleges and universities and for training workshops. It both addresses key issues related to assessment and treatment of injuries with an emphasis on global best practices and sheds light on the legal, psychological and ethical issues that professionals ought to adhere to in the course of duty. It is a must-read for forensic practitioners and other professionals in the medico-legal field and the criminal justice system."--Page 4 of cover.
