Summary: This volume explores indicators from a variety of biological fields used in human identification and illustrates the basic principles of each discipline. The contributors explain how identity is established either irrefutably or statistically through diverse characteristics and markings including tattoos, fillings, retinal scans, and footprints. The first section covers analysis of biomolecular evidence, impression evidence, external and internal physical evidence, facial recognition and reconstruction, and identification from personal effects. The second section illustrates the context and applications of the science through high-profile cases. |
