Book Overview

Gunshot Wounds provides critical information in the classification of gunshot wounds caused by handguns, rimfire and centerfire weapons, rifles and shotguns, as well as some less common weaponry. Written by one of the country's leading forensic pathologists, this important reference work covers issues concerning small arms fire and forensic pathology, such as basic forensic aspects of ballistics and wound ballistics, the importance of x-rays in autopsy, the detection of gunshot residues, the correct handling of deaths caused by firearms, and suicide by firearms.

Useful Technical Information

This is the best technical read on ballistic events that I have ever seen. I work in law enforcement and I immediately noticed descriptions of gunshot related events that our local medical experts may have been insufficiently informed about. Dr. Dimaio's wealth of experience pours out of this book. Every police officer, prosecutor, forensic scientist and pathologist should have a copy of this book on the shelf.

Criminal Defense Attorneys...Read This!

With the increasing use of forensics in courtrooms these days, it's imperative that attorneys be able to understand their applications.

Shocking

Very informative about the destructive power a bullet can have. As wrong as this may sound, if you own guns and have children, this is a good book to buy. It is difficult to explain to a child what a bullet can do to a human being. With this, you can show them.

The discussions of firearms and their features are very good and should help those with limited knowledge about guns understand what they do, how they do...

The only book you will ever need on the topic.

As a criminal defense attorney, my clients freedom often rests on my ability to understand the technical aspects of a case. While I will seldom, if ever, know more than the "expert" opposing me, understanding the topic in a straight forward and simple manner makes my interaction with that expert a benefit to my client. This to the point of knowing when not to say anything. This book provides a one-stop resource for...
