ABSTRACT

Once you set foot into the realm of forensic art, you have undertaken a serious responsibility. You are no longer creating art for beauty, for pleasure, or even for profit. You have accepted the task of aiding law enforcement with some of the most serious matters possible, at times involving life and death. Your professional behavior becomes subject to scrutiny by the judicial system; it must be above reproach. In a worst case scenario, failure to conduct yourself in an appropriate manner could potentially help a dangerous criminal escape justice.
