Forensic Human Identification: An Introduction explores the variety of biological indicators used in human identification and illustrates the basic principles of each discipline. The text explains 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, methods of communication, and identification from personal effects. The second section illustrates the context and applications of the science through high profile cases, including identity theft and fraud, crimes against humanity, and missing persons.
