United Nations

From 1992 to 2003 she carried out commissioned work for the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the United Nations , which consisted of the identification of victims and perpetrators of various conflicts.

University of Dundee

In 2005, Black was appointed professor of anatomy and forensic anthropology at Dundee University. In 2008 she became head of the newly created Center for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID), which offers undergraduate courses in forensic anthropology and postgraduate courses in anatomy and advanced forensic anthropology. This department provides training for members of the UK National Disaster Victim Identification (UK DVI) unit , both police officers and scientists, in advanced techniques for identifying human remains at accident and disaster sites. Practical applications are sample backup, sampling and documentation; theoretical background covers the forensic aspects of pathology, anthropology, odontology and radiography .

Black is director of the Center for International Forensic Assistance , founder of the British Association for Human Identification, and the British Association for Forensic Anthropology.

Personal identification by hand

Black is one of the few experts in the field of personal identification using special skin patterns on the knuckles and other areas of the hand. These analyzes are often the only means of identification in pedophilia cases in which only hands are visible in photographs. Since 2009, Black has been able to clearly assign hands to people in this way. Their work has resulted in the conviction of 27 pedophile offenders, including a man who raped a 14-month-old baby.

Opinion by Declan Hainey

In the death of the baby Declan Hainey, who was found mummified in the derelict apartment of his heroin addict mother, Sue Black and her colleague Craig Cunningham said after examining the bones that they found Harris lines , which could indicate malnutrition in the toddler. Since this connection is controversial and Black and Cunningham were not experts in malnutrition and its effects, the judges rejected the opinion and referred to the two anatomists as " quacks " ( quacks ), and the mother, Kimberley Hainey, was on appeal acquitted of the charge of murder in the first sentence. The judges later apologized to Black and Cunningham for this professional devaluation.

The Val McDermid Mortuary

When the Austrian anatomist Walter Thiel (1919–2012) developed a new, non-patent-protected method for the tissue-proof preservation of anatomical corpses in which the joints also remain mobile, Sue Black was the first in Great Britain to use this technique for teaching in Dundee implemented.

In order to replace the old morgue with a more modern facility, the university offered to pay half of the construction costs, 1 million UK pounds. Black then started a donation project in June 2011 with his friend crime writer Val McDermid to finance the other half, which gradually brought nine other crime writers ( Lee Child , Jeffery Deaver , Jeff Lindsay , Tess Gerritsen , Peter James , Kathy Reichs , Mark Billingham , Harlan Coben and Stuart MacBride ) effectively joined. The Val McDermid Mortuary started its work in mid-2014 and the names of the nine other authors are on the new Thiel preservation tanks.
