Product Description

Product Description

It takes the proper application of the appropriate methods to either confirm or disprove the authenticity of a handwriting sample that appears on a document. The conclusion may mean substantiating a person’s intent and preventing a fraud. Revised and expanded to reflect the most recent innovations in the field of forensic document examination, Scientific Examination of Documents: Methods and Techniques, Third Edition explains the various methods used to scrutinize documents in question.

This essential, cutting-edge book begins with an assessment of handwriting techniques, the accidental and deliberate modification of handwriting, and the proper collection of samples. It also reviews traditional and modern typewriting technologies, as well as the analysis of photocopies, incidental marks, the functions of photography in document examination, and courtroom applications.

This New Edition:

þ      Provides an illustration of the latest methods of document examination

þ      Includes a comparison between ink jet and laser printing

þ      Explains the improvements made to the Video Spectral Comparator (VSC)

To avoid the consequences that may occur from not fully substantiating a document’s authenticity, Scientific Examination of Documents: Methods and Techniques, Third Edition is an important guide to refer to at all times.

    A must have for the Professional Questioned Document Examiner 23 Oct 2005
    By R. Joseph Jalbert - Published on Amazon.com
    Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
    This first edition is a must have for the professional Questioned Document Examner. Excellent details in pen, ink, paper, indented writing Forensice Document Examination. Some methods of ink and pen identification qre not even covered in most Forensic Questioned Document Books, Not in the detail covered here. How do you know if an envelope has been steamed opened and reglued? What methods of page substitution are not covered in other tests? How can you quickly identify, beyond watermarks, if a page may not be consistent with others in a corporate agreement? Mr Ellen is truly a master Forensic Document Examiner. In my opinion he is the modern day version of Albert Osborn. My Osborn's Questioned Documents was the first complete book on Questioned Document Examination. It is dated now but Mr. Ellen's book covers it all. A great book. A must have for the 21st century.

    The 1st and 2nd editon should not be confused with the 3rd edition. The 1st and 2nd edition give great technical detail as to methodology in use of Forensic Equipment, VSC-1, ESDA, IR/UV, ink and paper analysis. The 3rd edition answers methodology in visual examination as to methods of construction,disquised writing, simulations,significance of similarities and differences. The 3rd edition is more general than the previous editions but an excellent resource for the Forensic Questioned Document Examiner in training and as a refresher for the seasoned Forensic Questioned Document Examiner. It is also a must have for the Forensic Questioned Document Examiner Library.

    Shallow and unprofessional book 23 Jan 2008
    By Y. Vissoker - Published on Amazon.com
    Format:Hardcover
    In short: Shallow, not informative and not professional. Suitable to pre-beginners, if ever. No samples at all. I was shoked to realize that I paid so much for this misleading book. To my opinion, Amazon should be more careful with the deceptive reviews that alleged customers write about books. After the great disappointed I experienced in purchasing this book, I stopped buying books from Amazon anymore.
