Abstract: The phenomenon of crime in the developing world is also changing day by day. Criminal acts which are difficult to resolve and nature have a negative impact on judicial functioning and even make it difficult to solve some cases. With the formation of the Forensic Science Branch, it is seen that it is easy to clarify almost every criminal activity and to reveal the perpetrators. Because the field of Forensic Science is related to many branches of Science and has the ability to host different branches of science. Criminality is a human act, the perpetrator and victim of the human being because of the nature of the field of Anthropology, Forensic Science has become a natural part. This discipline, which emerged as a sub-discipline of Physical Anthropology and called Forensic Anthropology, contributes to the research of crime through anthropological studies. Forensic Anthropology uses forensic image analysis techniques in identification studies with emerging technologies. A technique called resurfacing is based on the restoration of soft tissues of the face by benefiting from a skull. On the other hand, the first state of the crime scene, which is described as the scene after a judicial case, is filled with clues to illuminate the investigation and prosecution of the case. The so-called forensic photography field includes photographing these clues with special techniques and photographing them in order to resolve incidents or prevent contradictions that may occur after the crime. Forensic Imaging Analysis and forensic photographing provide great contributions to the clarification and rapid access to the results. The conclusion of the unsolved murders and the identification of unidentified bodies are very important in judicial terms.
