This study investigates are feminised faces rated more trustworthy than masculinised faces. A sample of 195 university students volunteered to rate trustworthiness on a scale of 1-7 for the person they see on screen. The faces were morphed to looked masculinised or feminised. Results showed there is a significant difference, hence suggesting feminised faces are more trustworthy than masculinised. This could have an implication that people would use their features to gain trust and look more trustworthy.
Fingerprinting is method based on the uniqueness of the skin pattern - that is, each person has a completely individual pattern of papillary lines. These patterns do not change throughout life and have the property of recovering from damage to the skin in its previous form. On the one hand, this method almost completely eliminates the mistake, and on the other hand it is very cheap and easy to use (in contrast the method of identification of a person by DNA).
Reading assignment number three is important because of the rapid growth in technology. The reading assignment touches on the subject of using visual imagery and learning how to properly analyze what we have seen. Analyzed properly a picture can tell the viewer many things. Visual imagery is becoming a more progressive.
Children have been found to experience much higher levels of communication difficulty in the criminal justice system and this diminishes their ability to give evidence with the coherence desired by the court to facilitate prosecution of crime. In the case of R-v- Green youth court, the court held that There was no absolute right for a defendant to be allowed to face his accusers. Special measures to protect a vulnerable or intimidated witness from the accused would not normally be applicable to a defendant witness, but other means were available to a court to assist a defendant in ensuring that where he had communication difficulties, his case was put across properly. The court had an obligation to achieve fairness in each particular case, and that requirement was met by the system. This application was dismissed but the ruling gave critical understanding that a child under 17 years qualifies to be a vulnerable witness if they have communication difficulty and vulnerability was more circumstantial than mere age
Written by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, “Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit” was published in 1995. Mindhunter was New York Times best seller. The book is about John Douglas’s twenty-five year career with the Investigative Support Unit. Also, the book is about some of the cases John Douglas investigated.

Criminal profiling has been and will important to both the court system and law enforcement. Profiling helps police by limiting the field of investigation by providing what kind of individual is most likely to commit a crime focusing on the type of behavior and characteristics. It consist of a collection of leads, and is described as an educated guest or attempt to provide certain information about a specific type of suspect (Geberth, 1981). It is also a way of providing behavioral patterns, trends and tendencies. Law enforcement has used behavioral forensic for many years for solving crimes by creating psychological profiles of criminals. Criminal profiling can help local law enforcements manage criminal events that might need specific investigation.
Face recognition technology [1] is the least intrusive and fastest biometric technology. It works with the most obvious individual identifier – the human face. Instead of requiring people to place their hand on a reader (a process not acceptable in some cultures as well as being a source of illness transfer) or precisely position their eye in front of a scanner, face recognition systems unobtrusively take pictures of people 's faces as they enter a defined area. There is no intrusion or delay, and in most cases the subjects are entirely unaware of the process. They do not feel "under surveillance" or that their privacy has been invaded. [1]
Offender profiling it’s used to analyze crime scenes such as how was it committed the behavior and predicting characteristic of the criminal. It is not as effective because some things are hard to predict such as physical characteristic, but the possible chance that criminals have certain personality characteristics such as mental illness, which most of them have different symptoms could help know some more about the offender. It is not always effective due to unsuccessful cases such as the criminal changing its motive or change geographical pattern. It is a big help to recognize and know more about the suspect. Some dangers in using offender profiling is that a wrong suspect might be captured instead of the one predicted. Yes, the offender
For the past few weeks, I have been continually thinking about the title of Till We Have Faces. Orual’s words at the end of the book has been engrained in my mind that “Till that word can be dug out of us, why should they hear the babble that we think we mean? How can they meet us face to face till we have faces?” (pg 294). On the Till We Have Faces quiz, I understood that the title was about expressing our dynamic in our personalities, features, and emotions. Yet, I still did not grasp what it meant to ‘meet us face to face’. Then, I thought about Russian nesting dolls and how they appear to be a single face until each doll is open to reveal another doll. As I applied this analogy to each main character, I had an epiphany about the characters’ conversions.
Technology continues to advance law enforcement and transform policing in fundamental respects (Roberts, 2011). Some of the new emerging technologies have played an increasingly crucial role in the daily work of those police officers who use equipment, to assist in their enforcement and investigative efforts (Roberts, 2011). There are multiple advantages to the use of computer technology in relation to law enforcement efforts. Computer technology has expanded substantially over the course of the past two decades, any increased efficiency and the effectiveness of police officers (Roberts, 2011). Some of those computer technologies include the use of field computers, terminals, software, and programs that can predict criminal activity (Roberts,
The advancement in technology doesn't just end at education but continues over to law enforcement. Law enforcement has the overwhelming struggle of stopping criminals and keeping the reputation of equal opportunity and justice. New technologies can help with finding and stopping criminals in real everyday situations, some new technologies from around the world are Facial Recognition Glasses, Armed Robot Drone, Human universal load carrier, and the Predictive Policing. These devices help law enforcement and change the face of how the law is enacted. The facial recognition glasses are used in Japan for facial recognition in large crowds, this device will help with finding criminals in crowds for quicker arrests, "These glasses would allow officers
Based on the scene segmentation results, we can compute the face occurrence matrix O face =[oik ] m×n on each scene, where m is the number of faces, and n is the number of scenes. Here Oface has the same size with Oname because the number of face clusters is set the same as the number of distinct names in the script. Finally, the face affinity network which is represented by a matrix R face =[rij ]m×n.
