Summary: "This second edition is completely updated, focusing on the latest technology and techniques - including current detection procedures, applicable processing and analysis methods - all while incorporating the expansive growth of literature on the topic since the publication of the original edition. Forensic science has been challenged in recent years as a result of errors, courts and other scientists contesting verdicts and changes of a fundamental nature related to previous claims of infallibility and absolute individualization. As such, these factors represent a fundamental change in the way training, identifying and reporting should be conducted. This book addresses these questions with a clear viewpoint as to where the profession - and ridge skin identification in particular - must go and what efforts and research will help develop the field over the next several years. Chapters coverall aspects of the subject,including the formation of friction ridges on the skin, the deposition of latent marks, ridge skin mark identification, the detection and enhancement of such marks, as well the recording of fingerprint evidence.The book serves as an essential reference for practitioners working in the field of fingermark detection and identification, as well as legal and police professionals and anyone studying forensic science with a view to understanding current thoughts and challenges in dactyloscopy." --Publisher's description.
