Instances of human bites are generally rare, although it does sometimes occur that people use their teeth as a means of attack of defence. When looking into cases of the ill-treatment of children we often find bite-marks in addition to other signs of abusement. Eleven cases from the Institute of Forensic Medicine at Düsseldorf University are presented out of a total of 48 cases of ill-treatment of children followed by death in which human bite-marks as well as other haematomas on the victims could be proved. In all cases the cause of death was a subdural haematoma. All but three of the offenders were female, and all were young and subject to excess stress so that the act could eventually be regarded as the result of a disintegration of emotional status. The combination of bite-marks with haematomas and other signs of ill-treatment support with sufficient certainty the conclusion that a criminal action of a third person is involved.
人类咬人事件通常很少见，尽管有时人们确实会用牙齿作为攻击或防御的手段。在调查虐待儿童的案件时，我们除了发现其他虐待迹象外，还经常发现咬痕。本文介绍了杜塞尔多夫大学法医学研究所的11个案例，这些案例来自总共48例虐待儿童致死的案例，在这些案例中，可以证明受害者身上有人咬痕以及其他血肿。在所有案例中，死因均为硬膜下血肿。除了三名罪犯外，其他所有罪犯均为女性，且都很年轻并承受着过度压力，因此最终可以将这种行为视为情绪状态崩溃的结果。咬痕与血肿以及其他虐待迹象的结合充分肯定地支持了存在第三方犯罪行为的结论。
