Dutch term or phrase: robotfoto
De kern van het beroep uitgetekend als een robotfoto

We proberen nu een dwarsdoorsnede aan te reiken van het Sociaal Werk. Op zoek naar de krachtlijnen die het optreden van werkers kenmerkt. We doen dat aan de hand van het beeld van een robotfoto. En we kleuren nadien de achtergrond van de foto in door aandacht te hebben voor het basisdiscours van het Sociaal Werk.

We construeren een robotfoto, waarmee we een aantal trekken proberen weer te geven die in elke praktijk voorkomen.

Vooreerst besteden we even aandacht aan de achtergrond waarop de eigenlijke robotfoto zal moeten worden geprojecteerd.

Reference: 'facial composite' / 'compositiefoto' on Wikipedia

Reference information:
'A facial composite is a graphical representation of an eyewitness's memory of a face, as recorded by a composite artist. Facial composites are used mainly by police in their investigation of (usually serious) crimes.' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_composite )

'Een compositiefoto of compositietekening is een op basis van beschrijvingen door getuigen gemaakte afbeelding van een onbekend persoon. Compositiefoto's worden meestal door de politie bij het publiek onder de aandacht gebracht om verdachten van ernstige misdrijven te identificeren. Deze afbeeldingen worden dan bijvoorbeeld getoond in politieberichten op tv, in huis-aan-huisbladen of in het tv-programma Opsporing Verzocht.' (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositiefoto )

Example sentence(s):
  • A facial composite is a graphical representation of an eyewitness's memory of a face, as recorded by a composite artist.
  • Een compositiefoto of compositietekening is een op basis van beschrijvingen door getuigen gemaakte afbeelding van een onbekend persoon.
