Abstract

A reprint of the article "Bite Marks on Human Skin" by Gerald L. Vale, which appeared in "Identification News" in May 1982, is presented. It discusses the use of bite marks as physical evidence in court proceedings. Topics covered include the recognition of teeth as a fighting weapon, the events in which bite marks on skin most frequently occur such as violence, sexual activity and child abuse, and the appearance of a bite mark and how bite mark evidence is collected.
