Description

This manual is the companion workbook for the LawTech Custom Fingerprint & Impression Identification (I.D.) Lab Kit. The I.D. Lab Kit and Workbook together provide a new classroom training agenda of evidence collection, examination and interpretation with a concentration on Criminalistics and an introduction to forensic analysis. Learning is initiated through the presentation of instructor lectures using specialized training aids and actual criminal case histories. Linked with this instruction is the hands-on or operational phase, where students must complete a number of assignments using the I.D. Kit. During these labs, students utilize their inventory of equipment and supplies while conducting the assignments.
