Author Information:

Robert S. Ramotowski is currently employed as the Chief Research Scientist in the Forensic Services Division of the United States Secret Service, where he has worked as a research scientist for more than 18 years. His job duties include the coordination of forensic research activities within the laboratory (as well as between other entities, including academia, industry, and other domestic and international law enforcement laboratories), particularly in the areas of latent print visualization, questioned document analysis, instrumental analysis, and ink and paper chemistry. He has published more than two dozen articles on latent print and document chemistry and given or conducted more than 50 lectures and workshops in more than a dozen countries. He was awarded distinguished membership status in the International Association for Identification in 2008.

Description:

Reflecting new discoveries in fingerprint science, Lee and Gaensslen’s Advances in Fingerprint Technology, Third Edition has been completely updated with new material and nearly double the references contained in the previous edition. The book begins with a detailed review of current, widely used development techniques, as well as some older, historical methods. Next, it describes more recent advances as well as novel, emerging technologies that have just begun to reach maturity.

With contributions by a renowned group of leading forensic scientists and criminalistics experts, this valuable work presents the latest progress in fingerprint technologies, comparison, and identification.

Features:

• Explores current, widely used techniques in fingerprint detection as well as emerging methods
• Examines new trends in print development using nanotechnology
• Reviews advances in the area of blood reagents
• Discusses print recovery at contaminated scenes
• Includes nearly double the references contained in the previous edition
