Developmental & age-related changes in face examination

Course aims & objectives

This in-person training course provides a detailed overview of morphological changes to the face caused by juvenile development and adult ageing, and the impact of these changes on morphological facial image comparison:

  • Knowledge of morphological changes in facial features caused by juvenile development

  • Knowledge of the pattern and rates of the juvenile development of the face

  • Knowledge of morphological changes in facial features caused by adult ageing

  • Knowledge of the pattern and rates of adult ageing of the face

  • Knowledge of the permanence and transience of morphological facial feature detail

  • Ability to determine the impact of age-related changes on morphological facial feature detail

  • Ability to analyse and compare faces with age-related differences

  • Awareness of environmental factors and their impact of ageing.

Content

Two-days of in-person training on the effects of juvenile development and adult ageing on facial feature appearance, including in-class practical exercises to demonstrate understanding, all delivered by experts with over 15 years’ experience in forensic face examination.

 

Prerequisites
