Fingerprints have provided a valuable method of personal
identification in forensic science and criminal investigations for
over 100 years. Fingerprints left at crime scenes generally are
latent prints -- unintentional reproductions of the arrangement of
ridges on the skin made by the transfer of materials (such as amino
acids, proteins, polypeptides, and salts) to a surface. Palms and
the soles of feet also have friction ridge skin that can leave
latent prints. The examination of a latent print consists of a
series of steps involving a comparison of the latent print to a
known (or exemplar) print. Courts have accepted latent print
evidence for the past century. However, several high-profile cases
in the United States and abroad have highlighted the fact that
human errors can occur, and litigation and expressions of concern
over the evidentiary reliability of latent print examinations and
other forensic identification procedures has increased in the last
decade. This book discusses latent print examinations in detail,
and provides methods to improving the practice through a systems
approach.
