ABSTRACT
Human chew marks have historically provided forensic dentists with both physical and organic proof, according to traditional crook investigation knowledge. However, there have been examples in recent years when, in addition to addressing physical and scientific data, expert witnesses have testified in courtrooms about the psychological aspect of biting behavior. When it comes to those highly nuanced needs, the modern attacker begins to operate out mostly due to societal prejudices combined with acute psychological urges that have pushed for manifestation. The criminal will frequently leave key intellectual evidence on the crime scene due to a sample of mentally expressed ritualism. The manner in which the victim was assaulted, the manner in which the victim died, and so on. —these additives display information related to the sort of mental objectives that the offender is attempting to achieve. In the era of chunk markings linked to violent crime, it’s crucial for an “investigation” to understand what kind of personality qualities are welded together just to produce this type of need complex. Following a review of cases reported in the literature and conducting intellectual interviews with criminals, three main kinds of perpetrators tend to emerge. The first organization is sparked by an angry song, the second by masochistic biting, and the third by a more traditional “cannibal complex” motif. The authors looked at the study’s literature to see if biting behavior could be explained. They were engaged in the creation of innovative mental attributes of biting behavior. Using numerous psychological models to provide a foundation for similarly analyzing and provisionally giving a motivation for biting behavior, the writer provides a framework for analogous analysis and provisionally providing a motive for biting conduct. The research concludes with a comprehensive assessment of human mental traits related to biting behavior and an attempt to create their character traits by evaluating their behavioral pattern. Misleading behavioral notions should not be used for bite mark on repeated instances.
