520			_a"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. "-- _cProvided by publisher.
520			_a"Preface Due to the "CSI effect", interest in the forensic sub-disciplines has burgeoned. Consequently, hundreds of forensic science programs have arisen in universities around the world over the past decade. While dozens of professional fingerprint texts are available few, if any, are intended for students. Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis incorporates not only professional topics and technologies, but also the background and basic science behind these subjects. A majority of forensic sub-disciplines utilize some form of fingerprint analysis. Understanding the fundamentals of fingerprint analysis prepares the student for a career in the forensic sciences. Wherever possible, the most current research and advances in the science of fingerprint analysis are presented. This text is therefore also applicable to criminal justice professionals, attorneys, and laypersons that want to learn more about forensics. The laboratory manual entitled Fingerprint Analysis Laboratory Workbook is intended to accompany and enhance the topics addressed in the textbook. The book chapters align with the laboratory exercises. The laboratory exercises, introductory material, and post lab questions give students hands-on experience and supplemental information. Hands-on exercises enhance comprehension and enjoyment. "-- _cProvided by publisher.
