Expert Competence in Forensic Facial Identification: Problem Areas
https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2016-4-31-34
Abstract
The article deals with some of the systems of special knowledge that form the basis of competence of an expert performing forensic facial identification. It is observed that the existing general methodological framework, particularly in the areas of anatomy, anthropology, and modern human imaging technologies is inadequate for the analysis of human features in specific forensic contexts. The author therefore argues for the need to develop specialized education courses that could be used in the training of forensic facial identification practitioners.
