This volume will serve as a very useful resource for all professions tasked with assisting persons that have allegedly been subjected to a CEW exposure. It also serves as a comprehensive pictorial atlas of signature markings that CEW exposures make in the immediate and more remote post-exposure periods. Also, it discusses the ability of forensic specialty examinations of the CEW itself to aid in the determination of whether the alleged CEW exposure is consistent with the objective evidence and the subjective statements.

Finally, this text addresses the important and growing area of factitious CEW markings that will be useful for consideration by investigators and litigators. Atlas of Conducted Electrical Weapon Wounds and Forensic Analysis provides an objective atlas of evidence for reference that will benefit those professionals who often must make diagnostic, treatment or legal judgments on these cases including Emergency and Primary-Care Physicians, Medical Examiners, Forensic Pathologists, Coroners, Law Enforcement Investigators, and Attorneys.

Three editors organized material from thirteen primary authors into ten chapters. Historical overview, physics of electrical injury, probe wounds, drive-stun wounds, histopathology of cutaneous CEW injuries, extended range wounds, factitious wounds, legal aspects of CEW injuries, wounds and effects, potential forensic information in CEW digital memory and CEW wire and probe analysis. The text is very readable and easy to follow. Would you like to tell us about a lower price? If you are a seller for this product, would you like to suggest updates through seller support?

Published descriptions of the microscopic features of cutaneous injuries caused by CEW discharges are limited. Descriptions of CEW lesions sustained under controlled conditions are lacking.

This chapter delineates the histopathological appearances of uncomplicated CEW cutaneous injuries consequent to single 5-second discharge of CEWs applied in drive stun stun gun and deployed electrodes modes. Skin biopsies were obtained from volunteers immediately, 1, 24, 48, and 72 h following CEW discharges.

  5. Cutaneous injuries due to CEWs reflect a combination of mechanic and electrical forces. These injuries involve minor tissue damage. CEW discharge in either drive stun or deployed electrode mode results in epidermal necrosis. The dermis is largely unaffected in fixed electrode discharges. Deployable electrodes puncture the skin and cause localized dermal disruption and hemorrhage.

    CEW injuries elicit an inflammatory reaction and heal with little, if any, residua. Extended range conducted electrical weapons CEWs differ from handheld CEWs in that they are capable of being applied to subjects from a relatively long distance. They do so through unique launching platforms and involve different ballistic properties and attachment mechanisms than typical CEW deployed probes. Currently, there is only a single extended range CEW in use. This extended range CEW produces wounds distinctly different from the handheld CEW because of a different probe pattern and the ballistic launch component.

    It is important for medical, investigative, and legal authorities to be familiar with the distinct patterns of wounds created by these devices. Conducted electrical weapons CEWs are used in situations where force is necessary to control resisting or potentially violent subjects.

    Editorial Reviews

    These situations are often emotionally charged and physically dynamic and can lead to allegations of law enforcement misconduct or civil rights violations. Sometimes these allegations are not found to be valid. In some situations, the allegations may be due to an incomplete understanding of the CEW and how it operates. Understanding factitious injuries in relation to CEW usage is important for clinicians, investigators, and litigators.

    This will help to prevent unnecessary time and cost from being expended on investigating and pursuing unjustified allegations.

    This chapter, through discussion and case studies, will assist the reader in understanding how small factors in wound-based complaints such as an uninformed statement, self-induced injury, or pure subjective documentation can lead to much larger and sometimes unintended consequences.
