The criminal investigations class has been learning about forensic and physical evidence. As part of their learning experience, the students were tasked with locating, developing and lifting latent fingerprints off an item from a simulated crime scene. Fingerprint evidence can be crucial in linking a suspect to a crime scene, as well as excluding others from potential wrongful criminal charges.
