Advanced Ridgeology Science Workshop

Advanced Ridgeology Science Workshop
April 23 – 27, 2018
Dearborn, MI, USA

Presented by: Kathleen Bright-Birnbaum, CLPE

Course Description

This 5-day, 40-hour course, combines pertinent information on the science of friction Ridges and latent print identification techniques with a significant amount of latent print comparison practical exercises that help reinforce the newly learned concepts. The lecture material incorporates friction ridge concepts with the practical comparison exercises originally developed by Pat Wertheim. These practical exercises consist of actual latent prints and inked ten prints. The practical exercises are divided into a wide range of difficulty levels allowing each student to be evaluated and assigned practical exercises that are challenging, yet achievable. The exercises represent a wide range of difficulty levels that allows each student to work at his or her own level of competency, from beginning latent print examiners to those already certified by the IAI. Individual attention will be available during exercise periods. This class is ideal, even for senior examiners who wish to increase their speed and accuracy in doing latent print comparisons, lectures to improve a student’s overall knowledge of the fundamentals supporting ridgeology science, along with exercises to enable the examiner to develop the ability to make tough identifications and improve an examiner’s efficiency in doing comparison will be presented throughout the course.
This course has been approved for 40 hours of training credit towards certification/recertification by the IAI Latent Print Certification Board and the Tenprint Fingerprint Certification Board.

Ny upplaga av boken Grundläggande kriminalteknik

Grundläggande kriminalteknik 3:e upplagan, Thomas Kupper och Jan Olsson

Grundläggande kriminalteknik

Kriminalteknik är ett mångfacetterat och spännande ämne som alltid väckt intresse, inte minst under senare år då det uppmärksammats i mängder av filmer och TV-program. Teknisk bevisning är även ett område som fått allt större betydelse inom rättsväsendet. I denna omarbetade och utvidgade upplaga har senaste rön och den lagstiftning
som är gällande fram till början av år 2017.tagits med.

Boken är i första hand framtagen som utbildningsmaterial för grundutbildning av poliser och polisområdestekniker. Kapitelindelningen är vald med hänsyn till de kursplaner som finns vid Polishögskolan och de universitet som utbildar polisstudenter.

Boken är unik! Det är den enda bok som på ett både övergripande och detaljerat sätt går igenom ämnet kriminalteknik med utgångspunkt från svenska förhållanden och svensk lagstiftning. Bokens upplägg följer läroplanerna i kriminalteknik vid polisutbildningarna i Sverige och innehållet har granskats av elev- och lärargrupperna vid de olika utbildningsorterna.

Författarna har gemensamt drygt 90 års erfarenhet av polisarbete i allmänhet och kriminalteknik i synnerhet och gemensamt har författarna mer än 90 års erfarenhet av polisarbete i allmänhet och kriminalteknik i synnerhet.

Denna tredje upplaga av boken har delvis omarbetats och uppdaterats för bättre pedagogisk utformning av kapitlen. Här tas bland annat upp fotografering och dokumentation, fingeravtryck, biologiska spår, stöldskydd, blodspårstolkning, handläggning av dödsfall, kunskap om skjutvapen, vapenlagstiftning, bomber och illegal narkotikatillverkning.

Lärarna i kriminalteknik vid Linnéuniversitetet, kriminalteknikerna Bo Svensson och Anna Schneider, har gått igenom de flesta av kapitlen och lämnat värdefull hjälp och synpunkter. Sellan Ståling, f.d. Statens kriminaltekniska laboratorium f.d. kriminalkommissarierna Roger Månsson och Bengt Aspegren polisutbildningarna i Växjö resp. Stockholm har lämnat förslag till innehållet i boken och har faktagranskat kapitlen om skjutvapen och blodstänksanalyser. I kapitlet om bomber har bilder, värdefull information och synpunkter erhållits från Olle Hansen Polisregion Syd. Andra som påverkat innehållet i boken är Anders Lindström rättsentomolog vid, Statens veterinärmedicinska anstalt. Biolog Agneta Olsson, Alingsås, Peter Nordström vid Polishögskolan i Solna, Angelika Westergård vid Umeå universitet, Björn Helmboldt-Öhling och Peter Ekelund vid  Södertörns högskola i Stockholm vilka har gått igenom olika delar av materialet och lämnat värdefulla
synpunkter.

Boken kan köpas till förmånspris genom info@forensic,se. Boken finns även i bokhandeln.

(Polisstudenter kan köpa boken till särskilt förmånspris – kontakta info@forensic.se).
