Innovation in forensic anatomical identification – combating the sexual exploitation of children
Professor Sue Black, OBE BSc PhD DSc FRSE FRAI HFRCPSG,
Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID), Life Sciences, University of
Dundee
Sponsored by ISEC, European Commission Directorate General Home Affairs.

Background.

This project is interdisciplinary, combining anatomy and forensic human
identification, by focussing on the assessment of variation in body regions that are frequently
presented in offender images.
The aim of the full research proposal was to address innovative research potential which has been developed following high profile investigations into child sexual abuse. The basis of the work undertaken has a solid anatomical underpinning but the rigorous statistical interrogation of data and the strength of admissibility criteria require to be addressed before the full discriminatory capability of this approach can be realised prior to national and international testing, implementation and adoption.
This research will involve anatomical body mapping that is directed by aetiological intelligence.
The project addresses three areas of human anatomy – the hand, male external genitalia and
children’s faces. This PhD opportunity relates only to the analysis of hands as the other PhD and PDRA vacancies have been filled.
