Fingerprint Evidence: Under the Magnifying Glass

You are invited to attend our free CPD accredited webinar exploring how fingerprint evidence is assessed, interpreted and reviewed in forensic casework.

Presented by Alan Gore, Fingerprint Consultant, this session provides practical insight into how fingerprint evidence is recovered, examined and compared, and why independent review can be important where fingerprint evidence is disputed.

With over three decades of experience in fingerprint examination, Alan brings a detailed understanding of both traditional fingerprint practice and the modern processes used to assess and review fingerprint evidence.

The webinar will cover key areas including:

• The principles of fingerprint recovery, examination and comparison
• How fingerprint marks are analysed, compared and evaluated
• Streamlined forensic reports and what they may not show
• Factors affecting the quality and interpretation of fingerprint evidence
• The ageing of fingerprints and its evidential value
• Cognitive bias, opinion evidence and challenges to identification

This webinar is open to all attendees, and may be particularly useful for criminal defence solicitors, legal professionals, students and those involved in criminal casework.
