Description: "Forensic sciences requires approaching the social sciences to understand situations of treatment of corpses and body parts such as the disposal, concealment and destruction of bodies that are integrated into the symbolic and social space of societies, but also the social life of the dead, their bodies, violence against bodies and their absences.

The approaches are directed towards the respect of those who died and their memory and social and cultural needs of the populations affected"--
