Necrophilia Summary

Necrophilia: Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects by Anil Aggrawal

Necrophilia: Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects is the first text that deals with the scientific aspects of necrophilia from a multidisciplinary point of view. After an introduction that provides a general scientific, social, and historical perspective, this volume:

  • Explores causes and contributing factors, covering biological theories and genetics, as well as trauma, brain anomalies, and substance abuse
  • Offers an original approach to classification, creating ten levels of severity from role playing to homicidal necrophilia
  • Discusses necrophilia epidemiology, exploring offender characteristics and habits
  • Provides 20 case studies of infamous as well as less publicized cases
  • Details the forensics approach to necrophilia investigation
  • Examines current legislation and mores across the world
  • Explains the challenges involved with providing expert testimony

Necrophilia Reviews

Dr. Aggrawal proceeds as a dispassionate scientist to unearth ... both contemporary and historical cases that will amaze the reader, and also construct for the first time a classification of various kinds of necrophilia. ... Along with his previous textbook, Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices, Dr. Aggrawal has once again made a very important contribution to the criminal forensic literature. Necrophilia is extreme, it is rare, and it is inexplicable to most; but until now, it has also been devoid of a systematic, scientific, and investigative text.... .
- From the Foreword by J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego
