Innovations and New Aspects in Forensic Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Forensic sciences are continuously updated in many research fields. In recent years, notable advances in histopathology and genetics have been made. Nowadays, forensic practice requires a multidisciplinary approach requiring expertise in forensic pathology, histopathology, genetics, toxicology, forensic radiology and anthropology. In some forensic fields, forensic psychopathology skills are necessary.

In this special issue we want to discuss and collect the innovations and updates of forensic science that can help and improve the conduct of daily practice.

In this way, given the importance of the topic, this special issue aims to collect original article, case report, review, technical note, perspective articles, communication, brief report in all forensic and medico-legal fields.
