Xanthé Danielle Mallett (
/ˈzænθi/; born 17 December 1976) is a Scottish
forensic anthropologist, criminologist and television presenter.
[1] She specialises in human craniofacial biometrics and hand identification, and behaviour patterns of paedophiles, particularly online.
[2] She is a senior lecturer at the
University of Newcastle in
Newcastle, New South Wales,
Australia.
She received her bachelor's degree in archaeological sciences from the
University of Bradford, a master's degree in biological anthropology at the
University of Cambridge, and her doctorate in forensic science from the
University of Sheffield.

For five years, she worked at the Centre for Anatomy & Human Identification (CAHID) at the
University of Dundee, Scotland,
[3] where she was a forensic practitioner and a lecturer of forensic anthropology.
[4][5] Mallet stated that her interest in criminology began to increase, which led her to move to Australia in 2012. "My casework experience helped me to realise that I was becoming more interested in investigating the behaviours behind the crimes, rather than identifying the victims and offenders from physical evidence they leave behind," she said. She was a senior lecturer at the
University of New England in
Armidale, New South Wales,
[6] before taking the same role at the
University of Newcastle in
Newcastle, New South Wales.

Mallett has been published in various academic journals including the
International Journal of Legal Medicine and the
Journal of Forensic Sciences. In 2014, she published the book
Mothers Who Murder: And Infamous Miscarriages of Justice about mothers who kill their own children
