In recent years, diagnostic techniques have been further developed by the introduction of DNA typing and CT machines. This Special Issue aims to collect papers that will enable forensic diagnosis to progress in the following fields: pathology. odontology, radiology, anthropology, toxicology, body fluid analysis, DNA analysis, traffic science
