Abstract

The range at which a weapon has been fired is an important measurement for the reconstruction of firearms offenses (murder, suicide, accident). All changes caused by a shot and which vary according to the distance from the weapon are suitable in principle for determining this distance. However, some procedures are very elegant in theory but hardly applicable in practice. The constructions of ammunition and the sequence of events during a shot are dealt with first as this knowledge forms a basis for understanding the various methods. The individual zones (classes) of firing distances (contact shot, intermediate shot, distance shot) are described. In this connection, the morphological methods for determining the firing distance are discussed. From the shape and size of the powder residue distribution (soot stains, powder tattooing) and with the knowledge of the weapon and ammunition, the distance from the target can be elucidated. In this chapter, the methods of making an invisible distribution visible are also dealt with. In order to determine the range of the shot from the appearance of the wound no complicated apparatus is necessary. One can judge with the naked eye. These procedures have a great advantage over the methods discussed in the following chapter in that they give stronger proof. They are more vivid and convincing for the uninitiated (judge or jury) than abstract measurements obtained by scientific devices.

Abstract

Dans la première moitié de ce traité fondateur, l'entomologiste Jean-Pierre Mégnin (1828-1905) résume de façon parfaitement accessible quinze ans d'études sur la datation de la mort d'un sujet par l'observation de son cadavre sur lequel se sont succédé, à intervalles réguliers, de nombreuses ± escouades d'insectes. Nous suivons donc avec lui les phases principales de l'envahissement et de la destruction de l'hôte par ses ± invités , phases éclairantes tant du point de vue zoologique que de celui de la médecine légale. La seconde moitié du livre renferme dix-neuf observations médico-légales faites par l'auteur et quelques autres naturalistes, observations qui constituent d'excellents exemples d'application. L'ouvrage est illustré d'une dizaine d'aquarelles peintes par Xavier Carteret à l'occasion de notre édition.

Abstract

Links have recently been established between the study of death assemblages by archaeologists and paleontologists (taphonomy) and the application of physical anthropology concepts to the medicolegal investigation of death (forensic anthropology). Forensic Taphonomy explains these links in a broad-based, multidisciplinary volume. It applies taphonomic models in modern forensic contexts and uses forensic cases to extend taphonomic theories. Review articles, case reports, and chapters on methodology round out this book's unique approach to forensic science.
