Wound Ballistics and the Scientific Background
Wound ballistics covers many scientific fields and requires extensive knowledge of many sciences such as, for example, mechanics, ballistics, weapon science, medicine, physiology, neurology and traumatology. This book provides a comprehensive look at the subject of wound ballistics by giving information on the historical background and physical description of ammunition, the mechanical and hydrodynamical effects of various bullets and projectiles moving in biological tissue, indicating areas of uncertainty in the field and showing practicable directions for future research.
Shot Range Determination
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 method...
Forensic Science Progress
Among the sampies collected from the crime scene, tissue sampies such as bone, tooth, hair, nail, skin, muscle and others are very important trace evidence which provide us with available information for personal identification. In order to obtain such information, these tissue sampies should be thoroughly examined using conventional methods including morphology and histo-pathology as weIl as blood grouping. Through the methods described above, blood grouping will give us reliable informa tion for personal identification to a high degree of certainty. In order to succeed in determining blood groups from tissue sampies, the techniques used should be carefully selected because the content and ...
Wound Ballistics
The definitive interdisciplinary reference work for wound ballistics Basics The book begins by providing the necessary basic knowledge about physics, ballistics and ammunition and weapons. Then it describes the behaviour of projectiles in humans and animals (the physics of gunshot injuries) and introduces the experimental simulation of gunshot wounds, including the materials suitable for this purpose. Applications These basic principles can be applied in forensic medicine and criminalistics. The gunshot wound provides some forensic traces and the experimental reconstruction helps to understand the dynamic crime process. The wounding potential of non-lethal weapons can be determined. In emerg...
The Changing Face of Conflict and the Efficacy of International Humanitarian Law
It is indisputable that the way armed conflict is conducted has changed dramatically in the last half of the twentieth century. The contributions to this volume accept the reality of these changes and seek to assess the efficacy of certain aspects of international humanitarian law. The volume commences with a critical evaluation of the 1977 Protocols additional to the four Geneva Conventions of 1949. Subsequent chapters consider increasing protection for women and minorities in armed conflict; efforts to control the weapons of war; identifying the law applicable to peace operations; and current developments in the enforcement of international humanitarian law. One general theme which emerges from a number of chapters is the importance of the relationship between international humanitarian law and other relevant areas of international law. Most of the contributors also applaud recent developments towards effective enforcement of the established principles of this important area of international law.
Wundballistik
Die 2. Auflage dieses Buches enthält zahlreiche, auf neuesten Forschungsergebnisssen beruhende Erweiterungen. Neben physikalischen Grundlagen und der Wundballistik von Gasstrahlen (Jets), ist auch ein zusätzliches Kapitel über Splitter enthalten. Die Technik der experimentellen Simulation von Schußverletzungen (unter vollständigem Verzicht auf Tierversuche) wurde wesentlich weiter entwickelt. Im übrigen folgt die 2. Auflage dem Aufbau der ersten. Neben den physikalischen Grundlagen wird ein Überblick über die historische Entwicklung von Waffen und Munition und die Geschichte der Wundballistik gegeben und eine Verbindung zu den völkerrechtlichen Vereinbarungen geschaffen. Der Hauptteil beschreibt das Geschoßverhalten in weichem Gewebe und Knochen. In 2 weiteren Kapiteln werden die Wundballistik der Kurzwaffen- und Langwaffengeschosse dargestellt. Im Anhang findet der Leser ein ausführliches Tabellenwerk, ein 3sprachiges Glossar fachspezifischer Ausdrücke und eine Literaturliste.
Historical Origins of International Criminal Law
The historical origins of international criminal law go beyond the key trials of Nuremberg and Tokyo but remain a topic that has not received comprehensive and systematic treatment. This anthology aims to address this lacuna by examining trials, proceedings, legal instruments and publications that may be said to be the building blocks of contemporary international criminal law. It aspires to generate new knowledge, broaden the common hinterland to international criminal law, and further consolidate this relatively young discipline of international law. The anthology and research project also seek to question our fundamental assumptions of international criminal law by going beyond the geogra...
Deadly Metal Rain: The Legality of Flechette Weapons in International Law
Relying on often unique sources, this book offers the only in-depth study on flechette weapons yet conducted. Its comprehensive exploration of the legal versus illegal implications of conventional weapons use make it an invaluable resource for weaponry policy analysts.
