Abstract
Simon Cole, author of a book on the history of fingerprint identification, critic of claims about the "infallibility" of fingerprint evidence, and now a member of two bodies charged with writing standards for the fingerprint discipline, will talk about the scientific issues raised by forensic identification techniques, the progress that has been made in addressing those issues, current efforts to develop standards to regulate their use in the criminal legal system, and whether computers really will, or should, fix everything.
