Summary: Introduction to Fingerprint Examination under the microscope
Review: As someone wanting to get into Crime Scene Investigation, I found this book extremely helpful in establishing a solid base to learn from about a very important field: fingerprints. Anyone going into a career like this should definately read this book. Though some of the principles where confusing, and required a couple readovers, I quickly came to understand what was important when dealing with fingerprints.

Summary: Very Good Introduction...
Review: This is a very good introduction to fingerprint classification for beginners. It does not cover IAFIS/AFIS, but it is good as a basic fingerprint primer none the less.

If you are just researching fingerprints, this is a very good primer to get you started.

The book does not pretend to say that you will learn everything about prints, but rather that you will understand the basics of what everything is about.

Another reason that if your prints are onfile and you are bad, you likely get busted sooner or later....:)
