Speaking for the Dead: Coroners, Institutional Structures, and Risk Management

Leslie, Stanley Myles MacKenzie 10 January 2012 (has links)
Based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork, this dissertation shows how the Office of the Chief Coroner of Ontario (OCC) – whose object is to speak for the dead to protect the living – is shaped by risk management priorities. It illustrates how the OCC, like many contemporary organizations, has altered its operations and decision making to manage threats to its reputation. The result of these moves has been the privatization of public safety decision making with bereaved families, the general public, and even front line coroners, increasingly excluded from speaking for the dead. This is to say, policy recommendations that shape how life in Ontario is lived tend to be generated in private sessions by OCC managers. While much of this can be attributed to the OCC’s focus on reputational risk management, there are other important factors affecting the privatization of public safety. Drawing on research in the sociology of culture, the dissertation finds that the OCC’s experience of risk management is moderated by other, layered institutional structures. These ‘institutional structures’ are analytic constructs with moral and methodological dimensions that inform the way work in the OCC is carried out. The dissertation demonstrates that the moral priorities and method preferences of doctors, lawyers, managers, families, and modern governments are layered over and under risk management. These layers augment or diminish risk management’s impact on the way death is determined and public safety regimes are developed. In addition to offering a window on death investigators and their work, the dissertation proposes a theoretical toolset for better understanding how contemporary organizations are organized and run.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Campos_JoseCarlosdaSilva_M.pdf: 2906108 bytes, checksum: 87ec77783670d34bc29c46a21196efe9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: A Violência Familiar representa uma das faces mais cruéis da violência, pois atinge pessoas indefesas, geralmente mulheres e crianças, nos seus próprios lares, ambiente que Ihes deveria garantir proteção e bem-estar. A despeito das leis que visam garantir a defesa dos direitos das crianças e adolescentes, diversas formas de violência continuam a acometer diariamente estes seres em formação, produzindo pessoas psicologicamente desajustadas e propensas à continuidade do comportamento violento em suas relações. O presente trabalho analisa o perfil epidemiolágico das crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência familiar na Região Metropolitana da Grande Vitória, nos anos de 2002 e 2003, examinadas no Departamento Médico Legal da citada região. Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo dos laudos de Exame de Lesões Corporais dos arquivos daquele Departamento, sendo detectados 895 casos de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de agressões não-fatais impostas pelos seus familiares. Ao contrário de outros trabalhos, a maior parte das vítimas era do sexo feminino (567 - 63,35%), contra 328 (36,64%) do sexo masculino. Na maioria dos casos (482 - 53,85%) os principais agressores foram os pais biológicos, seguidos pelo padrasto (111 - 12,40%). A maior incidência de agressões se deu nos fins de semana e aconteceram por meio de trauma direto, com as próprias mãos, mas o uso de cinto e outros objetos caseiros foi relatado em 129 casos (14,41%). Em 89 casos (9,94%) as vítimas não apresentavam nenhuma lesão corporal visível. As lesões mais freqüentes eram equimoses (479 - 59,42%), escoriações (400 - 49,62%) e hematomas (184 - 22,82%). As regiões corporais mais atingidas foram os membros superiores (390 - 25,74%), a cabeça (351 - 23,30%), os membros inferiores (269 17,75%) e a face posterior do tórax (180 - 11 ,88%). Na face, as regiões mais atingidas foram as orbitárias (79 -15,22%), a frontal (74 - 14,25%) e a oral (69 - 13,29%). Em 54 circunstâncias houve várias vítimas da mesma família, totalizando 117 crianças ou adolescentes agredidos, em sua maioria, pelos pais biológicos. Foram observados 8 casos (14,81%) em que as vítimas eram irmãos gêmeos. De acordo com os critérios do Código Penal Brasileiro, a maior parte das crianças e adolescentes deste estudo sofreu um dano físico classificado como Lesão Corporal de Natureza Leve, uma vez que não apresentaram um dano maior para a integridade física ou funcional / Abstract: Family Violence represents one of the cruelest faces of violence, because it affects defenseless people, women and children, mostly in their own homes, where protection and well-being are expected. Despite the laws focusing on the rights for children and teenagers, several forms of violence continue to psychologically affect children in such age group, promoting violent behavior in their relationship. The present work analyzed the epidemiological profile of children and teenagers victims of family violence in the Metropolitan Region of Grande Vitoria, between 2002 and 2003. Individuais were examined at the Legal Medicine Department in that region. A retrospective study of forensic examination records of that Department was conducted. A total of 895 cases of children and teenagers victims of non-Iethal aggressions by their family members were detected. However, previous studies verified that most of the victims were female (567 female - 63.35% and 328 male - 36.64%). Besides, the highest incidence of cases was verified for teenagers, aged 15-18 years. There was no significant difference between teenagers (450 - 50.27%) and children (445 - 49.72%). In most cases (482 53.85%), the main aggressors were the biological parents, followed by stepfather (111 - 12.40%). The highest incidence of aggressions occurred on weekends by means of direct trauma, with bare hands; the use of a belt and other household objects was related in 129 cases (14.41%). In 89 cases (9.94%), the victims presented no corporal lesions. The most frequent lesions were bruise (479 59.42%), scratch (400 - 49.62%) and hematoma (184 -22.82%). The most affected body regions were the upper limbs (390 - 25.74%), head (351 - 23.30%), lower limbs (269 - 17.75%), and posterior thorax (180 - 11.88%); as for the face, the orbits (79 - 15.22%), the forehead (74 -14.25%) and the mouth (69 - 13.29%) were the most affected regions. In 54 cases, there were several victims of the same family, totaling 117 children or teenagers, most of whom were violently punished by their parents. In 8 cases (14.81%), the victims were twin brothers. According to criteria described in the Brazilian Penal Code, most children and teenagers in this study suffered damage classified as Minor Corporal Lesion, since their physical or functional integrity was not affected. / Mestrado / Mestre em Odontologia Legal e Deontologia

The post-mortem as a source of information in the investigation of murder

Bila, Hlengani Phanuel 05 1900 (has links)
The research is concerned with how the post-mortem report can be used as a source of information in the investigation of murder cases to identify crime, individual crimes and trace suspects, etc. The understanding of the post-mortem report, and the information which can be obtained from it, will assist the police investigators to handle murder cases in a professional way. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the existing manner in which police investigators use post-mortem reports in their investigations, with the intention of determining its strengths and weaknesses, and considering how the usage can be improved. Secondly, the researcher wanted to explore how investigators use postmortem reports as a source of information in their investigations. To accomplish this, the researcher perused international and national literature in an attempt to explore the field. The researcher wanted to apply the new research knowledge in order to develop good practice in the field. This has been done by recommending new procedures to enhance performance and to improve the conviction rate in court cases. / Police Practice / M.Tech. (Forensic Investigation)
