This handbook of forensic victimology focuses on femi(ni)cide contexts, offering instructional tools for legal and forensic investigation from a transdisciplinary perspective. Drawing from cross-national experiences, particularly in Australia and Mexico, it provides essential resources for identifying, investigating, analyzing, interpreting, and understanding lethal gender-based victimization through physical forensic evidence. Spanning ten chapters, the book illustrates and develops standards of professional practice from the initial victimization report through specialized procedures, including crime scene processing, medical evidence collection, and entomology. It establishes the functionality and relevance of each stage of forensic investigation, alongside theoretical and legal considerations regarding various femicide contexts, such as intimate partner femicide, femicide-suicide, and child femicide. Additionally, it discusses due diligence standards in forensic investigation and legal considerations to avoid unlawful evidence. Ideal for professionals in legal and forensic fields addressing gender-based victimization, this volume also serves as a handbook for students in forensic-related areas such as legal and forensic medicine, criminalistics, criminology, and criminal law. part i. introduction -- 1. femi(ni)cide, forensic crisis, and justice: the need for a victimological standard in forensic contexts -- part ii. general issues on femi(ni)cide, forensic investigation, and due diligence -- 2. ‘femicide’ and ‘feminicide’: history, typologies, contexts, and complexities -- 3. child femicide -- 4. feminicidal violence and the nullity of unlawful evidence -- 5. due diligence standards: the forensic investigation on femi[ni]cide -- part iii. criminalistics and forensic medicine -- 6. crime scene and feminicide: crime scene investigation and processing standards -- 7. the contribution of forensic entomology to the investigation of violent crimes: historical framework and situation in mexico -- 8. feminicide: identification through skeletal remains -- 9. the role of forensic medical examiner towards feminicide -- 10. necropsy protocol for feminicide in pregnant women and perinatology of the embryo and fetus -- . epilogue. edited by Oscar Ivan Cortes-Perez.
