- Title
Detection of Fingermarks from Post-Blast Debris: A Review.
- Authors
Smyth, Alexander; Sims, Mark R.; Holt, John
- Abstract
Fingermarks, an important area of forensic investigations, are generally believed to be destroyed during explosive events. Therefore, post-blast investigations are rarely centered around fingermark evidence recovery to identify a suspect. In-depth research into the recovery of fingermarks from post-blast scenes is lacking. Only five research attempts have been published to date. These five publications are reviewed here. By summarizing the research to date, future experimental work can be conducted to build upon this f ledgling research area to the point where a repeatable and successful technique may be discovered.
