• In terms of trauma and critical care, many of the great strides in these subspecialties occurred in response to war. Today, however, terrorism has replaced war as the ultimate in man's inhumanity to man. The science of mass casualty care, for example, has been redefined by our studies of the World Trade Center and Oklahoma bombings. What a sad commentary it is that the health care industry must struggle to keep pace with man's homicidal ingenuity (Winfrey, 1999).
• Society's attempts to create order and control resulted in laws that everyone, including nurses, physicians, and patients, are expected to abide by as citizens. When regulations are ignored, civil rights abrogated, and laws violated, forensic nursing comes to the forefront.
