Dean’s expertise in the area will provide an in depth understanding of how errors with first identification can lead to a Fatal Call and someone potentially getting away with murder.”
Dr Jones' reserach will be presented in three parts; a study into real cases where homicides were nearly missed; a statistical analysis of homicides against forensic autopsies; and focus group interviews.
