Abstract

The article focuses on the significance of cartographic sketches of criminals in Great Britain. It highlights the need to yield a visual likeness to identify and convict the perpetrators. It states that the nature of facial memory has intrigued the psychologists driven by the fact that human memory has been compromised by the passage of time. The development of EvoFIT which has been inspired by the natural processes of selection and breeding is also emphasized.
