Abstract

Occasionally ear prints are found at crime scenes. The height of the ear imprint may provide the police with information regarding the stature of the perpetrator and may therefore help to narrow down the number of suspects. The research provides calculations for the determination of stature from the height of the tragus imprint found at crime scenes. It takes into account various variables such as age, stature and gender.
