Introduction
Facial reconstruction has long been utilized in the field of criminal investigations to help identify unknown individuals based on their physical features. This technique involves creating a visual representation of a person’s face using skeletal remains or other evidence, which can then be used to compare with missing persons databases or potential suspects. The accuracy and reliability of facial reconstruction have improved significantly in recent years due to advancements in technology and forensic anthropology techniques. This study aims to explore the application of facial reconstruction in criminal investigations, focusing on its effectiveness, limitations, and potential for future development.
