Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The monograph Sudden Deaths in Custody ... addresses all relevant aspects in this field. ... The two introductory chapters give an overview of the nature of sudden in-custody death and a medical review. ... very well written and well referenced, and contains a huge wealth of information. ... highly recommended to all dealing with sudden deaths in custody, especially police officers, forensic pathologists, administrators, investigators, medical personnel, and would be useful in civil law suits claiming wrongful death. The text is really authoritative." (B. Madea, Forensic Science, Medicine, and Pathology, Issue (4), 2008)
