The ?rst edition of this book was published as a volume in the Elsevier Series in Forensic and Police Science. Elsevier’s book business has since been acquired by CRC Press LLC and CRC has supported and extended their forensic science program. We thank CRC for the opportunity to revise
Advances in Fingerprint Technology
to this second edition. Fingerprints is an area in which there have been many new and exciting
developments in the past two decades or so, although advances in DNA typing have tended to dominate both the forensic science literature and popular information about advances in forensic sciences. Particularly in the realm of methods for developing latent prints, but also in the growth of imaging and AFIS technologies, ?ngerprint science has seen extraordinary breakthroughs because creative applications of principles derived from physics and organic chemistry have been applied to it.
Fingerprints constitute one of the most important categories of physical evidence. They are among the few that can be truly individualized. Fingerprint individuality is widely accepted by scientists and the courts alike. Lately there have been some modest challenges to whether a ?rm scienti?c basis exists for ?ngerprint individuality, based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1993
Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
decision [113 S.Ct. 2786 (1993)] in which new standards for the admissibility of scienti?c evidence were articulated for the ?rst time. The issues underlying these challenges are treated in Chapters 9 and 10. A perspective on the history and development of ?ngerprinting and the fundamentals of latent print identi?cation are treated in Chapters 1 and 2, revised from the ?rst edition. Latent ?ngerprint residue chemistry, on which every latent print detection technique is ultimately based, is covered in detail in a new Chapter 3. Chapter 4, the survey of latent print development methods and techniques, has been revised and updated. Chapter 5 on ninydrin analogues has been revised and updated. New chapters on physical developers (Chapter 7) and photoluminescent nanoparticles (Chapter 6) are added. AFIS system technology and ?ngerprint imaging are now widespread and may be considered mature. They are covered in a new Chapter 8. The ?rst edition of this volume was dedicated to the memory and lifetime work of Robert D. Olsen, Sr., who wrote the original Chapter 2, but passed away unexpectedly before the book could be published. That chapter has been revised and retained in this edition.
We want to thank all the contributors to this revised edition for their outstanding work and cooperation in bringing this work to completion. We also thank the staff at CRC, especially our acquisitions editor, Becky Mc Eldowney, for making the task comparatively painless. Again we thank our wives, Margaret and Jacqueline, for their continued love and patience with us and our work habits.
