Since its publication, the first edition of Fingerprints and Other
Ridge Skin Impressions has become a classic in the field. 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. The second edition
introduces several new topics, including Discussion of ACE-V and
research results from ACE-V studies Computerized marking systems to
help examiners produce reports New probabilistic models and
decision theories about ridge skin evidence interpretation,
introducing Bayesnet tools Fundamental understanding of ridge mark
detection techniques, with the introduction of new aspects such as
nanotechnology, immunology and hyperspectral imaging Overview of
reagent preparation and application Chapters cover all 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.
