Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 1953 assumed 1st ed THE DETECTION OF MURDER by William F KESSLER & Paul B WESTON published by Greenberg cloth "A Handbook for Police Officers, Detectives, Coroners, Judges, and Attorneys.". A well-documented book on murder - not the reminiscences of a "homicide" man nor the memoirs of an autopsy surgeon, but a carefully prepared study of unexpected and unexplained death - death from obscure, suspicious, or violent causes. The authors begin their text with the arrival of the first person on the scene of an unexplained or unexpected death. Motive for murder is fully explored as are the killings which at first glance seem to be without motive. A systematic procedure for the investigation of suicide is established and "motives" for self-destruction are detailed. Finally, all of the more common causes of violent death are fully explained so that police officers may recognize the death mechanism and not waste a minute in pursuit of the killer. Chapter headings include : Recognizing Death; Identification; The Dead Body; the Initial Investigation; Murder; Motive for Murder; Murder Without Apparent Motive; The Investigation of Suicide; Violent Death; Slashings and Stabbings; Contusions; death Resulting from Gunshot Wounds; Asphyxia.
