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, this two-volume set provides essential resources for identifying, investigating, analyzing, interpreting, and understanding lethal gender-based victimization through physical forensic evidence.   Volume I spans ten chapters and illustrates professional practice standards 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.   Volume II 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.   Ideal for professionals in legal and forensic fields addressing gender-based victimization, this comprehensive set serves as a handbook for students in forensic-related areas such as legal and forensic medicine, criminalistics, criminology, and criminal law.

Clarifies the diversity of social and behavioral examinations to explain feminicide in forensic and legal contexts Incorporates a victim-centered approach in pursuit of repair of harm in contexts of feminicide Brings an in-depth understanding of the relevance of symbolic repair of harm in contexts involving feminicide
