Description
While there is no such thing as a perfect match in the field of forensic comparative science, Forensic Comparative Science: Qualitative
Quantitative Source Determination of Unique Impressions, Images, and Objects provides the experience, understanding, and judgment,
necessary for concluding whether two unique images share common origin from a unique and persistent source.
Knowing there will
be ranges of different levels of details throughout images, the expert must be able to comprehend when a sufficient quality and quantity
of details is reached to render a judgment. By utilizing a process of analyzing the first image, analyzing the second image, comparing
them to each other, and evaluating the significance of the analyses and comparisons based on expertise, the comparative scientist will
be able to recognize the belief and believe the recognition that occurs during comparative examinations.
Forensic Comparative
Science presents a philosophical and theoretical approach to explaining the cognitive process of comparative measurements and source
determination. Science is about understanding and generalizing nature. This book is about generalizing comparative science.
