Synopsis: This book, the second volume in the set, offers an in-depth, global analysis of femicide and feminicide from legal, sociological, and criminological perspectives. It addresses the lack of coverage of forensic investigation, case solvability, forensic evidence, and victimological approaches. Volume II not only focuses on descriptive aspects of femicide and feminicide, but also tackles practical issues related to access to justice and the importance of forensic methods in solving feminicide cases. By expanding on current developments in gender-based murder, it integrates applied forensic and legal settings, adopting a victim-centered approach to explain contexts of victimization in court. It is ideal for professionals working in legal and forensic settings towards gender-based victimization. It serves also as a handbook for students in areas related to Forensic areas such as legal and forensic medicine, criminalistics, criminology and criminal law.
