In legal settings, forensic medicine is the application of medical knowledge to questions of law. In crime scene investigations, it is the application of medical knowledge to the understanding of how a crime was committed, and to the identification of the perpetrator. In legal proceedings, it is the application of medical knowledge to issues such as personal injury, wrongful death, and sexual assault.
