Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of the second edition of this Special Issue is to analyze the new most promising lines of research that have been proposed in the various traditional sectors of forensic medicine (forensic pathology, forensic anthropology, forensic toxicology, forensic hemogenetics, forensic entomology, damage evaluation, professional medical responsibility evaluation) and to explore new fields of interest in the discipline for the future. Attention will be focused on the relationship between forensic medicine and clinical risk management; on the development prospects of environmental forensic medicine; on the medicolegal implications of artificial intelligence; on the development and consolidation of clinical forensic medicine, at the patient’s bed; on the evaluation of cold cases with the recent acquisitions of forensic sciences and medicine; and on the applications of legal medicine to the violations of human rights (in immigration, terrorism and war scenarios). This Special Issue invites works from leading researchers working on individual aspects of these topics.
Prof. Mariano Cingolani
