| Summary |
Though DNA typing gets most of the attention in forensic science literature and the headlines, fingerprints have seen new developments over the past two decades or so, are one of types of physical evidence that can be truly individualized, and is widely accepted by scientists and courts. Fingerprint specialists from such fields as applied chemistry, forensics, and computer science and engineering describe those developments and the current theory and practice. The first edition was published, at an undisclosed date, as part of the Elsevier Series in Forensic and Police Science, and has been substantially revised and expanded.
