%0 Journal Article %T Letter from the Editor-in-Chief %A J. Keith Pinckard %J Archive of "Academic Forensic Pathology". %D 2017 %R 10.1177/192536211700700301 %X The theme of the third issue of 2017 is ˇ°The Pathology of Terrorˇ± and the Special Guest Editor is Dr. Michael Pollanen. We specifically used the word ˇ°terrorˇ± rather than ˇ°terrorismˇ± to be more inclusive. Forensic pathology is involved in the evaluation of many acts involving ˇ°terror,ˇ± of which ˇ°terrorismˇ± is certainly a subset. This is probably not a topic most people think about in terms of a type of pathology, but it certainly brings to mind special considerations pertaining to injuries in the setting of torture or the approach to dealing with a mass casualty event such as a terrorist act or genocide %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6474575/
