In everyday life we identify faces regularly and seemingly with
great ease. One might assume this to be a straightforward and
highly accurate task. However, we are poor at identifying the faces
of unfamiliar people, who we have never met before, despite the
fact that many important everyday tasks depend on this. Forensic
face matching requires the comparison of two face photographs, of a
person who is not known to the observer. This seemingly simple task
is critical for a wide range of security tasks, such as person
identification at airports and borders, passport issuance and
renewal, and criminal identification in police investigations.
Despite its ubiquity, face matching is highly prone to error, even
under conditions that are designed to maximally facilitate this
task. For this reason, face matching has been studied extensively
in Psychology, with the bulk of the research conducted since 2010.
'Forensic face Matching' provides readers with a wide-ranging,
detailed, and critical overview of facial comparison and face
matching, providing insights into its application, efficacy, and
limitations in occupational settings, and of current scientific
knowledge of this task.
