Forensic Medicine

 

 

Stories of the pioneers of forensic medicine and the methods they have used and developed over the years to investigate crimes and bring criminals to justice. This does not only cover poisoning, shooting, stabbing and other violent methods, but also looks at subjects such as fingerprinting, forged documents, visual identification and the modern criminal profiling experts. We also include under this heading books on criminology and social sciences.

Many of these items are now highly collectible and some of the interesting items from this category have included:
