MLIIR in Crime Investigation and Administration of Justice

The importance of a well-structured history and interview and its correlation with physical examination and laboratory investigation is established in both diagnoses of disease and crime investigation. But in India, medico-legal experts are rarely involved in history and interviews with suspects and witnesses. During the psychological autopsy, various information was obtained which were very useful for the investigation of the case but did not fall under the purview of the psychological autopsy. This new terminology was coined namely Medico-legal Interview for Information Retrieval (MLIIR).
