About this book
The police composite sketch, one of the most crucial investigative tools in
law enforcement, is developed during a composite session—an intense display
of communication and art in which the words of a witness are transformed into
the features of a suspect. Despite the incredible technological leaps made in
investigative work, the forensic science of composite sketching still relies
on the basic elements of drawing skill, interpretive ability and the spoken
word. The Police Composite Sketch is a comprehensive manual on how to conduct
a complete composite session. Through an array of case studies, it details several
disciplines that comprise this specialized forensic art, including composite
sketching, image modification, age progression, facial comparison analysis,
demonstrative evidence and postmortem/skull reconstruction. It also explores
how to intuit insights that are often inadvertently revealed by witnesses, victims
and perpetrators during the composite session. In addition, this book discusses
other relevant topics, such as the three-stage drawing technique, witness and
victim types, descriptive terminologies, managing composite sessions. Complete
with numerous illustrations and drawing tips, this seminal work offers a general
composite session philosophy and specific session strategies to both experienced
and aspiring forensic artists as well as any lay reader intrigued by this fascinating
skill.
