Answers to Questions About Fingerprints
by Scientific Working Group on Friction Ridge Analysis, Study and Technology (SWGFAST), et al. March 2011
The principle goal of the Fingerprint Sourcebook is to serve as a compendium of up-to-date information resources covering the science of fingerprint identification. The Sourcebook is the brainchild of the International Association for Identification (IAI) and this work covers the anatomy and physiology of friction ridge skin, proper method for recording exemplars from the living and the dead, latent print development methods, factors in expert identification, legal issues and much more,
The text will eventually consist of 15 chapters, and at this writing, 13 chapters are a reality and have been published. The Fingerprint Source is being made available via the website of the National Institute of justice (NIJ) and is published pdf for immediate download by chapter.
