Forensic Examination of Signatures explains the neuroscience and kinematics of signature production, giving specific details of research carried out on the topic. It provides practical details for forensic examiners to consider when examining signatures, especially now that we are in an era of increasing digital signatures. Written by a foremost forensic document examiner, this reference provides FDEs, the legal community, the judiciary, and the academic community with a comprehensive record of the state-of-the-art of signature examination and plans for addressing future research into improving the reliability of FDEs

AbstractUsing anatomical feature comparison to consider potential matches from hand images to identify or eliminate suspects in an investigation, commonly relating to those involved in the production of images of child sexual abuse, is an emerging forensic methodology that has become increasingly utilized by police forces within the United Kingdom. This article gives an overview of the development of a process that is based on an understanding of anatomical variation and shows how new approaches can be introduced to forensic investigations. It describes the rationale that led to the development of the investigative methodology within the United Kingdom, and how it is implemented to ensure that comparisons and the subsequent reports are both methodologically sound and admissible in any of the courts within the UK legal jurisdictions.

From the Publisher: When a crime or other incident takes place, clothing items are often present or left behind, and can become directly involved in the case itself. Items of clothing are thus one of the most common types of exhibit examined in court. They can provide valuable information in cases of violent crimes, such as homicide or rape, as well as in burglary, robbery, arson, and vehicular accidents. A unique reference in the forensic arena, The first of its kind, Scientific Protocols for Forensic Examination of Clothing discusses the forensic examination of clothing in criminal cases. It examines the ramifications of DNA profiling and its effect on the screening approach to clothing examination.

The purpose of this book is to inform the document examiner of the various new manufacturing processes and materials and how these processes can be identified and differentiated from each other in a forensic document examination. After a discussion of the history and manufacturing processes of seals in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 introduces the document examiner to the primary classifications of stamps and describes the characteristics necessary for classifying a stamp in question. Chapter 3 is an in-depth study of the various mainstream manufacturing processes of hand, self-inking, and pre-inked sta

Search for trajectories of further development linguistic forensics - promotes innovative solutions. Linguo-ecological expertise must be included in the structure of scientific research. Textbooks on the forensic theory of examination are quite worthy of supplementing with a section on linguoecology. Open opponents of environmental values are hard to find today. This has been consistently incorporated into the structure of modern politics.
