Fingerprint analysis may be performed as part of many jobs, including crime scene technician, latent print examiner, criminalist, latent print technician, forensic specialist, and forensic scientist. Regardless of one’s specific discipline, a background knowledge of scientific practices in handling and analyzing fingerprint evidence is critical for success. The best way to comprehend the principles and concepts of any science learned in a classroom is to perform experiments. The exercises in Fingerprint Analysis Laboratory Workbook address all aspects of fingerprint theory, investigation, processing, comparisons, and research. Designed specifically to parallel the Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis textbook, the laboratory exercises correspond with the textbook chapters, with each exercise in the lab chapter putting into practice the concepts covered in the text chapter. Each lab follows the same format, starting with the objectives of the experiment and background information needed before performing the experiment. This is followed by a list of required materials, the lab exercises, and post-lab questions for students to test their assimilation of what they’ve learned. Many of the laboratory exercises may be completed either at home or in a laboratory setting. Exercises and photographs enhance the text, making it an ideal hands-on learning tool.

The laboratory exercises are meticulously crafted to align with the chapters of the Fundamentals of Fingerprint Analysis, Second Edition textbook. Each exercise reinforces the concepts discussed in the corresponding text chapter, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. This structured approach enhances learning by bridging theory and hands-on experience in fingerprint analysis.

Focusing exclusively on courtroom testimony related to fingerprint evidence, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for fingerprint examiners. It covers the development, research, and defense of the scientific principles underpinning their conclusions, equipping professionals with the necessary skills to effectively communicate their findings in court.
