FACIAL APPEARANCE AND CRIMINALITY

Abstract

Facial features might affect decisions to choose a particular suspect from a lineup, to feel sympathy for a person who commits crime or to provide a lenient prison term. The arm of this work is to find out whether facial appearance affects criminality decisions. The findings of this work show that facial appearance affects criminality in various circumstances and cases. The doctrinal research method was employed. The researchers recommend more research in facial appearance on murder and kidnapping cases.
