Challenges to Fingerprints

This book, perhaps the first of its kind, teaches you about fingerprints: what they are, their use in criminal investigation, techniques used for comparison, training and certification of experts, accuracy and error rates of fingerprint comparisons, and court challenges to fingerprint evidence. If you are a trial attorney or an investigator and must work with fingerprint data, this book teaches you the pitfalls of fingerprint evidence and the challenges and problems that might occur in a court of law when fingerprint data is presented.
