Forensic doctors are professionals in judicial organs who use medical technology to identify and authenticate persons, corpses, objects or substances related to cases. In ancient China, the officials responsible for examining criminal injuries and corpses in government offices were called coroners.
In China, forensic evaluators are generally full-time forensic experts from the public security and judicial authorities. They can also be forensic teachers in colleges and universities or doctors with forensic knowledge entrusted and hired by the judicial authorities. They must have no interest in the case. After conducting examination and identification, the forensic evaluator should make an identification conclusion. The defendant should be informed of the identification conclusions used as evidence. If the defendant applies, supplementary identification or re-identification may be carried out.
This job, which has existed since ancient times, is unpopular in both ancient and modern Chinese society. No matter how highly educated and well-paid forensic doctors are today, in the somewhat feudal and superstitious Chinese society, ethics and morals are always involved, so forensic work has always been criticized a lot.
