Medical Justice consists of two terms medical sciences and criminal justice administration. It’s a collaborative concept between medicine, science and law. The various medicine and science specialties which are more often applied to facilitate the legal as well as the criminal justice administration are broad focus of medical justice.
Forensic Medicine is application of medicine in the court of law, similarly, any part of medical science or science which is applied to facilitate the legal system comes under the category of medical justice. Allied forensic medicine and science specialities include Law and Justice, Forensic Nursing etc are part of Medical Justice System.
Very often it is difficult to separate out these specialities which work with each other side by side to facilitate the criminal justice administration system. In this journal we will mainly publish that which is directly or indirectly around the philosophy of “Medical Justice”.
The International Journal of Medical Justice [IJMJ] will publish original research, peer-reviewed observational, experimental and clinical studies, meta-analyses, review articles, case reports and invited reviews in the fields of Forensic Medicine, Forensic Sciences, Investigative Forensic Medicine, Law Persons, Investigative Authorities and Persons, Forensic Pathologists and allied sciences.
