Forensic Medicine, Forensic Science and Criminalistics

theme No.: 22d
responsible federal state: Hesse
date: 25.06.2023 - 30.06.2023

The conference is directed at criminal judges and prosecutors. Forensic medicine, forensic science and criminology play an increasing role in judicial and prosecutorial daily life. Unfortunately, judges and prosecutors are only rudimentarily prepared for this in their studies and their clerkship time.
The goal of the conference is to do a little catching up and thus to point out the limits of forensic medicine as well as to present modern forensic sciences and special methods of criminology.
These topics will be covered:

• New developments and trends in forensic medicine
• Principles and areas of application in forensic thanatology and traumatology
• Special features in cases of infanticide and child abuse
• Forensic toxicology
• Forensic anthropology
• Zoologic and botanic investigations in criminology
• Reconstruction of the crime with the aid of bloodstain distribution patterns
• Forensic imaging
• computer-assisted biomechanic profiling.

This conference has also been advertised as a part of the European Judicial Training Network (EJTN). This is also particularly suitable for foreign participants.
