CMC 451 - An Introduction to Forensic Document Examination: Basic Theory and Practical Applications

1.50 credit hours
This course is an initial introduction to microscopical trace evidence examination. It introduces the student to the Electrostatic Detection Apparatus (ESDA), used for indented writing detection, and the Video Spectral Comparator (VSC), for UV/IR imaging in reflection/absorption and fluorescence modes- two of the most important instruments used in the examination of questioned documents. This course provides a strong foundation in the basic theory behind these two instruments along with practical use of each in actual case work. Includes practicum.
