| Publisher Description: Based on 30 years experience this book gives an insight into the day to day work of a Police Surgeon in Devon, UK. Each chapter concentrates on a specific area such as murder, sexual offences, mental illness or illegal drugs; how do we ensure basic human rights; how do we ensure people are fit to be detained and interviewed? It is filled with genuine cases; modified to protect patient confidentially. But it is also a personal book describing how he fell into the work, almost by accident. This is the real action which occurs at every UK local police station; where medicine meets at law. It will prove a fascinating read for anyone interested in real crime or considering a career in forensic nursing, medicine or the police. |
