"This book. . .should be read carefully by those contemplating
installation of a laser to become aware of [its] special needs and
limitations. . .. I would highly recommend it for reading by all
those in latent fingerprint work, especially those testifying as
experts. "
---The Police Chief
". . .a comprehensive treatment of a singular development in the
history of forensic identification. It will be of value to those
who find, record, and identify fingerprints, and must also explain
these activities in adversarial arenas. The book is well-organized
and specific sections are easily located....Diagrams and figures
assist greatly in the understanding of the science. "
