Medicine and Justice by Katherine Watson
In bringing together for the first time four groups of specialists - doctors, coroners, lawyers and police officers - this monograph makes a major new contribution to the historiography of criminal justice in England and Wales and offers a new interpretation of the processes that shaped the modern criminal justice system.Katherine D. Watson is a Reader in History at Oxford Brookes University and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Her research interests focus on areas where medicine, crime and the law intersect, including the history of infanticide and crimes against children, forensic medicine and science, and an unusual form of assault known as vitriol throwing. She is the author of Poisoned Lives: English Poisoners and their Victims (2004) and Forensic Medicine in Western Society: A History (2011).
