Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Daubert trilogy of U.S. Supreme Court cases has established that scientific expert testimony must be based on science grounded in empirical research. As such, greater scrutiny is being placed on questioned document examination generally, and handwriting comparison in particular. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, The Neuroscience of Handwriting: Applications in Forensic Document Examination examines the essential neuroscientific principles underlying normal and pathological hand motor control and handwriting. Topics discussed include: Fundamental principles in the neuroanatomy and neurochemistry of hand motor control and their application to research in handwriting The epidemiology, pathophysiology, and motor characteristics of neurogenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, essential tremor, and motor neuron disease and their effects on handwriting Psychotropic medications prescribed for depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis; their mechanisms of action; and their effect on motor behavior and handwriting The impact of substance abuse on handwriting An overview of the aging process and its effects on motor control and handwriting The kinematic approach and new findings on the kinematic analyses of genuine, disguised, and forged signatures The authors’ laboratory research on authentic and forged signatures An essential resource for professionals and researchers in the forensic documentation examination and legal communities, this volume provides a window on the scientific process of signature and handwriting authentication, integrating the extensive research on neural processes and exploring how disease, medication, and advanced age alter these processes.

Book excerpt: "Forensic document examination is the study of physical evidence and physical evidence cannot lie. Only its interpretation can err. Only the failure to find it, or to hear its true testimony can deprive it of its value." - Roy Huber, author A definitive review of handwriting identification, this book presents, in a general manner, how to approach document examination and then, in particular, how to apply handwriting identification to the document. Types of handwriting are discussed in detail. For the first time in the field of questioned document examination, Handwriting Identification: Facts and Fundamentals consolidates the pertinent information from published and unpublished sources respecting writing, that is essential to the expansion of a practitioner's general knowledge of handwriting identification and to the proper education of novices. Written in a question and answer format, the book suggests some of the questions that one might ask of an examiner and provides the answers that knowledgeable and competent examiners should be expected to give. This book is a valuable addition to law libraries and to every practicing document examiner, as well as every lawyer handling cases in which the authenticity of handwriting might be disputed.
Download or read book Handwriting Features Guide written by Nicole Crown and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forensic handwriting examination follows a process comprised of four main steps: Analysis, Comparison, Evaluation, and Verification (ACE-V). While the process itself has been described and refined, very little effort has been undertaken to establish a clear and detailed list of features that the forensic handwriting examiner (FHE) must analyse in the first step of the examination. In-depth analysis of graphical features of handwritten texts or signatures is integral to the work of FHEs when requested to give an expert opinion, typically to determine whether a questioned handwritten item has been written by a specific writer. Indeed, it is these graphical features that will be compared between questioned and known samples, to establish similarities and differences that will finally be evaluated under two or more mutually exclusive propositions to reach a conclusion. A robust analysis based on clearly defined features is necessary to provide reliable and unbiased opinions. Numerous books and articles describe handwriting features that should be observed during the analysis stage of the examination. However, the descriptions can be vague, and several authors may use different terms to describe the same feature. It may also happen that the same term is used to define different characteristics. Moreover, illustrations of terms are often scarce and some- times of little help to understand what the corresponding features are. These problems are exacerbated when trying to equate terms in different languages. This project presents a comprehensive depiction of writing fea- tures (particularly found in Latin script) relating to the whole hand- written text or signature, which the authors consider relevant to help answer questions commonly ad- dressed by FHEs. It is the authors hope that the FHE community utilises this illustrated list of writing features, which we believe can promote a thorough and complete analysis and provide a common language for FHEs. Thus, this project seeks to contribute to establishing a systematic and standardized approach to forensic handwriting examination and move the discipline towards reproducibility and validation.
Download or read book Forensic Handwriting Examination and Human Factors written by The Working Group on Human Factors in Handwriting Examination and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some 6,000 years, humans have made an indelible mark on history through the loops, strokes, and other characters that constitute the written form of language - handwriting. The study of handwriting is also an important part of forensic science. By analyzing the characteristics of a handwritten note or signature, a trained forensic document examiner may be able to extract valuable information for determining whether a note or signature is genuine, as well as the likely writer. As with all human endeavors, handwriting examination is not immune to errors. In June 2015, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology convened the Expert Working Group for Human Factors in Handwriting Examination to conduct a scientific assessment of the effects of human factors on forensic handwriting examination with the goal of recommending strategies and approaches to improve its practice and reduce the likelihood of errors. This report provides a comprehensive discussion of how human factors relate to all aspects of handwriting examinations including communicating conclusions to all relevant parties through reports and testimony. The report also discusses education, training, and certification as well as the role of quality assurance, quality control, and management in reducing errors.
