Download or read book Latent Print Processing Guide written by Stephen P. Kasper and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latent prints are chance or accidental impressions left by friction-ridge skin on a surface, regardless of whether they are visible or invisible at the time of deposition. Recognition of evidence that may contain fingerprints and the processes that can develop these latent prints is crucial in preventing valuable evidence from being left undetected. Latent Print Processing Guide goes beyond the basic police training, covering latent prints in detail and providing first responders with adequate training and guidelines. To process latent prints, examiners use various techniques including electronic, chemical, cyanoacrylate, and physical methods. Latent Print Processing Guide offers a broad understanding of latent print detection, development, and recovery, including insights on stateof-the-art technologies. Includes history of latent print identification and some of the pioneers and their contributions. Defines the differences between chemical and physical processes and explains process sequence protocols and recovery methods for different types of evidence. Chapters include: process selection, application and recovery, special considerations for specific materials, protocol sequence and process formulas, including required materials, application method, expected results, safety measures, and references. The text is written so that non-crime scene or non-crime laboratory personnel can also gain valuable information from it.

Download or read book Fingerprints written by Mark R. Hawthorne and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fingerprints: Analysis and Understanding the Science, Second Edition is a thorough update of Mark Hawthorne’s classic written by two professionals with combined experience not only in crime scene investigations but also as court-recognized experts in latent print examination. Designed as a concise text to cover the fundamental techniques and principles of obtaining and analyzing latent fingerprint evidence, the book is laid out and written in an easy to understand format for those front-line professionals collecting and analyzing fingerprint evidence. Over time, the degree of sophistication and education on fingerprints and friction ridge analysis has increased. Ultimately, through scientific study by pioneers in the field, the composition of friction skin soon became evident: that it could be used as a unique identifier of individuals. Now, fingerprints and footprints as unique identifiers—and their use in criminal cases—have become commonplace and an essential component of criminal investigation with most cases involving some component of fingerprint evidence. Divided into two parts, the book begins with the basics of analysis, providing a brief history, systematic methods of identification, fingerprint pattern types and their associated terminologies and current classifications. The second part of the book discusses the identification and presentation of evidence in the courtroom, demonstrating both the traditional, manual method of lifting prints and the newer techniques for automated and live scans. Coverage provides instruction on searching and developing latent prints, storage, and comparison of prints. New to this edition are updated techniques on collecting and preserving fingerprint evidence—including packaging and maintaining chain of custody. More detailed documentation processes, and additional chemical and lifting techniques, are described including use of light sources, latent backing cards and lifting material, casting material, ten print cards, and the enhancement of prints in blood. A discussion of laboratory equipment and comparison tools, the addition of photography techniques, and recent courtroom challenges to fingerprint evidence is also presented. Fingerprints, Second Edition will provide a hands-on, fresh look at the most commonly utilized evidence found at crime scenes: fingerprints. The book will provide law enforcement, crime scene personnel and students just such an opportunity to easily understand and grasp the concepts, and relevant issues, associated with friction skin and fingerprint evidence.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis written by Hillary Moses Daluz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "CSI effect" has brought an explosion of interest in the forensic sciences, leading to the development of new programs in universities across the world. While dozens of professional texts on the science of fingerprint analysis are available, few are designed specifically for students. An essential learning tool for classes in fingerprinting and impression evidence, Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis takes students from an understanding of the historical background of fingerprint evidence to seeing how it plays out in a present-day courtroom. Using a pedagogical format, with each chapter building on the previous one, the book is divided into three sections. The first explains the history and theory of fingerprint analysis, fingerprint patterns and classification, and the concept of biometrics—the practice of using unique biological measurements or features to identify individuals. The second section discusses forensic light sources and physical and chemical processing methods. Section Three covers fingerprint analysis with chapters on documentation, crime scene processing, fingerprint and palm print comparisons, and courtroom testimony. Designed for classroom use, each chapter contains key terms, learning objectives, a chapter summary, and review questions to test students’ assimilation of the material. Ample diagrams, case studies, and photos demonstrate concepts in a way that prepares students for working actual cases.

Download or read book FBI Guide to Fingerprint Identification written by Fbi Dept of Justice and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the official FBI Guide to the Science of Fingerprints... material the Bureau has provided to law enforcement agencies worldwide, and after several decades of trying criminal cases l strongly suggest that no defense attorney should be without this book in his or her library for reference before entering any trial in which fingerprint evidence might be submitted. Too often I've seen police testify that there was a 'match' between the defendant's prints and those found at the scene of a crime, and if a hearsay objection is overruled, without the information contained in this book, the average defense attorney is at a disadvantage to cross-examine the witness as to the details of how this conclusion was reached, - and also not competent to launch a credible protest to a fingerprint expert's qualification to testify, thereby eliminating some lab employee one step above janitor from testifying as to his opinion about alleged match being found. It's also nice to have enough knowledge to ask some procedural questions of a lab tech that 'lifted' the subject prints, and the method used for comparison, because in real life, those fantastic computer screens seen in the CSI television shows comparing prints and the fact that a 'match' exists, never seem to make it into the courtroom. If you think you already know enough about dermatoglyphics to cross-examine some qualified fingerprint expert, then give yourself this vocabulary test on 22 terms that a fingerprint witness might use, and see if you know what each one of them means in relationship to the science of fingerprints... and if you fail the test, then start reading this book before your next trial.. and if you can't, don't worry... this book contains more than 432 illustrations, giving you everything you need to know about fingerprints.

Book excerpt: A procedure is described for determining whether two fingerprint impressions were made by the same finger.The procedure uses the x and y coordinates and the individual directions of the minutiae (ridge endings and bifurcations).The identity of two impressions is established by computing the density of clusters of points involving the differences in coordinates that are found in going from one of the fingerprint impression to the other.Experimental results using machine-read minutiae data are given along with results from a previously reported procedure that utilized constellations of minutiae in its matching process.(Author).
