Designed for both the novice and experienced examiner, Deciphering Distortion in Latent Prints is primarily a hands-on workshop meant to provide you with a practical understanding of distortion in latent prints. More importantly, you will learn in a way that facilitates your continued understanding of distortion after you've returned to your agency. Deciphering Distortion in Latent Prints was intentionally designed to be different than most typical classroom workshops . The instructors, drawing upon both their professional experience as latent print examiners, and years of teaching both graduate and undergraduate university students, have discovered what works and what doesn't when it comes to teaching distortion of latent prints. Before you finish Day 1 of Deciphering Distortion in Latent Prints you will have attained a fundamental understanding of basic distortion. In the remaining days you will explore in greater depth each variable that determines the ultimate appearance of any latent print. Each topic will be enhanced by your own hands-on creations and analysis. Real-time, in-class feedback and discussion will help to reinforce your understanding. You will return not only more capable of accurately interpreting distortion in latent prints, but will also have been shown how to apply this practical knowledge in ways that can benefit others in your agency.
