Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Teeth can be used as a weapon when an individual tries to harm another, or
can be used by the victim attempting to protect themselves from an attacker. Bite marks
are a clinical representation of intraoral structures (tooth and other soft tissues) on any
object by an animal or human. Bite mark assessment can play a critical role in the
identification of persons in forensic-related cases. Bite marks are usually found in
various crime scenes, such as sexual assault, rape, murder, cases of child abuse and
during sports activities. This chapter reviews the basics of the bite mark pattern,
characteristics, and significance of bite marks in forensic science to solve crimes.
