Craniofacial Superimposition: State of the Art

Abstract

A complete analysis of the scientific literature concerning cases resolved using CFS was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of CFS use among forensic scientists. However, since many experts working with CFS may not have published their activity in the field, a survey was launched among anthropologists by the “Methodologies and Protocols of Forensic Identification by Craniofacial Superimposition” (MEPROCS) project, a project which aimed to propose a common EU framework to allow the extensive application of the CFS technique in practical forensic identification scenarios, commonly tackled by the European scientific police units.
