Latent Fingerprinting and its Reliability as Forensic Evidence
Introduction The discovery and subsequent improvement in forensic science has been a road marred with many challenges. However, despite these challenges, its acceptance as a rudimentary source of evidence in the judicial system is fascinating. Nonetheless, there are copious number of skeptics who argue that the science is based on probability; thus does not fit to be termed as an actual science.

Ways of Collecting Fingerprint Evidence from different Surfaces
Fingerprints can be identified from several surfaces, which include the porous, non-porous, and semi-porous ...
