• The
first comprehensive title on this subject area
• Outlines in detail the entire process of fingerprint gathering and identity
verification
• The future of AFIS will is discussed, including national standards in developing
multi-agency cooperation/interoperability (U.S.) in addition to the use of AFIS
identification world-wide.
Description:
An easy-to-understand synopsis of identification systems, presenting
in simple language the process of fingerprint identification,
from the initial capture of a set of finger images, to the
production of a Rapsheet. No other single work exists which
reviews this important identification process from beginning
to end. We examine the identification process for latent (crime
scene) prints and how they are identified with these systems.
While the primary focus is automated fingerprint identifications,
the book also touches on the emergence and use of fingerprints
in other biometric systems.
Criminal justice administrators, policy makers, and students of forensic science
and criminal justice will find a reference to the known limitations and advantages
of these systems.
This book provides information as to the critical and continual need for properly
trained individuals as well as an understanding of the direct and indirect costs
associated with maintaining these systems.
An understanding of the entire system and what it means will prove invaluable.
Why are there missed identifications? Why are identifications made on one database
that are not made on another database? Key terms and issues are included, and
well as suggestions for improving the overall number of identifications.
The book will go beyond process and also discuss issues such as interoperability,
management strategies for large databases, contract development, lights out verification
and several other issues which impact automated identifications.
