Abstract

Abstract In criminal cases where there is a lack of evidence, the authorities sometimes ask our department to make a comparison of a criminal and suspect for possible identification or exclusion. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of 113 such cases analysed by the Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Copenhagen, Denmark in 2006–2016. The aims of the analyses were to assist the authorities in identifying individuals, predominantly due to a suspicion of involvement in criminal activity. The videos comprised surveillance footage showing a criminal committing a criminal act. Based on comparisons of specific parameters, such as face, gait and general body proportions, conclusions were drawn on the plausibly of a suspect being the perpetrator of the crime in the video footage. This paper describes the most typical case: a comparison of one suspect with one criminal committing a robbery. In the majority of cases, the suspect could not be excluded from being the criminal based on the analysis of the video footage.
哥本哈根大学法医学系基于视频的法医人类学案例:10年回顾性审查
在证据不足的刑事案件中,当局有时会要求我们部门对罪犯和嫌疑人进行比较,以便可能的识别或排除。本文对2006-2016年丹麦哥本哈根大学法医学部门分析的113例此类案件进行了全面概述。分析的目的是协助当局查明主要由于涉嫌参与犯罪活动的个人。这些视频包括一名罪犯实施犯罪行为的监控录像。通过对特定参数的比较,如面部、步态和总体身体比例,得出结论,认为嫌疑人是视频片段中犯罪的肇事者。本文描述了最典型的案例:一名犯罪嫌疑人与一名抢劫犯的比较。在大多数情况下,根据对录像的分析,不能排除嫌疑人是罪犯。
