Disputed document inquiries encompass extensive and varied technical examinations, unique phases of investigation, and specialized legal presentations. This book serves as a guide to all aspects of a questioned document covering the broad spectrum of the work as it is practiced today. From the work of the field investigator and the examination of a document to the presentation of evidence in court, Scientific Examination of Questioned Documents provides a comprehensive approach that is ideal as a training manual for document examiners, investigators, and attorneys.
Considered the forensic document examiner's bible, Scientific Examination of Questioned Documents is an authoritative and comprehensive reference that focuses on the pertinent advancements made within the field. This newest edition presents the qualifications necessary for a well-trained examiner and details the most up-to-date methodologies used i
Fraudulent identity and security documents are integral prerequisites for the smuggling of migrants, trafficking in persons, terrorist mobility, to facilitate the smuggling of drugs, weapons and other goods, and to commit fraud. Fraudulent documents are the grease that eases cross-border crime of all types. They include fraudulently obtained, illegally issued, forged and counterfeit documents. Many countries in the world recognize that forensic document examination is vital to immigration and border control security and have a forensic document examination facility. Although the ability to detect and disseminate intelligence about fraudulent documents is vital to border security, there are still countries lacking this capacity. Moreover, there is a lack of awareness among relevant criminal justice practitioners of the benefits that forensic document examinations may provide to assist border control security and immigration facilities. The Guide aims to provide practical assistance for the establishment or upgrading of forensic document examination capacities in two categories of service providers: (a) immigration and border control agencies and (b) forensic science laboratories. Several levels of infrastructure development ranging from basic to advanced capacity are covered. The focus is on the staff skill and educational requirements needed to perform forensic document examinations and to provide court testimony, intelligence alerts and training.
From the PREFACE. THE scientific examination of documents as a branch of forensic chemistry has been strangely neglected, and hitherto there has been no work dealing fully with the subject from all points of view. The present book is based upon personal experience extending over many years, and includes the results of a great variety of investigations on such subjects as the composition and behavior of inks, pencil pigments, sealing wax, and other writing materials in connection with their use upon documents. Some of these results have been communicated to scientific societies and subsequently published in their journals, and so have had the advantage of being discussed and criticized by experts in the respective subjects. The questions of the materials upon which the writing, typing or printing appears, of handwriting, of finger-prints, photography and microscopical examination are all inseparably connected with the scientific examination of documents; and these I have dealt with in due proportion to the whole subject, bearing in mind works already available. For the purpose of presenting expert evidence in legal cases, criminal charges, the investigation of anonymous letters, and the like, such studies are of material importance, and, as little information on the chemical questions involved was available, I had to make prolonged laboratory experiments to obtain trustworthy results, and these records should prove of service to others. In connection with the chemical examination of documents I am privileged to make use of numerous details of cases and observations recorded by Mr. A. Lucas, Director of the Government Laboratory, Cairo, whose excellent work on "Forensic Chemistry" contains short sections on the subject. My best thanks are also due to Mr. A. E. Osborn of New York for valuable information kindly sent to me, and for several illustrations, as well as for permission to quote from his standard work "Questioned Documents."
This book introduces the reader to the basic principles of handwriting and the factors that affect their development. The book discusses the basic concept of the characteristics of writing that are compared when making an identification or elimination of a writer. In addition, readers will be able to recognize the signs of forgery and disguise and to distinguish between simulation and disguise.
