Abstract
The phenomenon of “criminal dismemberment” remains underexplored in the scientific literature, despite its significant relevance as a post-homicidal behavior. This study seeks to address this gap by proposing an innovative, multifactorial methodology for the analysis of dismemberment cases. The methodology is structured into several key phases essential to ensure the technical and scientific validity of the results, and it is aimed at facilitating the reconstruction process of injuries on dismembered cadaver sections to delineate criminodynamics, establish the post-mortem interval, and assess injury vitality.
