After 9/11, the forensic epidemiology field emerged as a leading investigative tool, partnering public health officers with law enforcement like never before. Based on the authors? first-hand experience, Forensic Epidemiology brings to light the vast amounts of information collected by medical examiners that will be useful in advancing death investigation techniques among the science, public health, and law enforcement fields. This practical resource begins with a brief overview of epidemiological science and the history of forensic epidemiology before examining the multiple functions of death certificates and the signature role of forensic epidemiologist?s in death investigations.
