Paper Assignment
Consider the following list of evidence to be processed for latent fingerprints. Write a paper detailing how you would process and recover the latent prints from the items. Clearly explain: 1) Why you chose these methods rather than other means of processing and, 2) if the methods you chose would be different if you were operating in the field versus working in a controlled laboratory environment and why.
Consult the associated before you begin and always support your ideas, arguments, and comments with appropriately referenced (APA) literature, theory, and research. A good resource in addition to the course materials and other research is theChesapeake Bay Division of the International Association for Identification Interactive Chemical Reagent Program.
