As I'm sure other delegates to the the Seville conference remember, there was a very detailed paper given on necrophilia by a forensic expert, that certainly widened my understanding in a way I hadn't anticipated or welcomed. A copy of this paper is reproduced in the conference book. I have a copy, but this chapter is in Spanish. Thankfully his slides are not reproduced. Certainly the practices that he descibes would be described by most people as criminal activity, since it involves the abuse of the corpse by people who are strangers. All this takes us back into the literature you know so well about who owns a corpse and the criminality of corpse abuse generally. Julie.
