Forensic Document Examination in the 21st Century
暫譯: 21世紀的法醫文件檢驗

《21世紀的法醫文件檢驗》涵蓋了最新的技術和方法，提供有關當代法醫文件檢驗問題和方法的完整資源。法醫文件檢驗師在法庭上提供他們的發現作為專家證詞。由於技術的快速變化，包括數位文件、印刷和影印能力等，對於這本最新參考書的需求非常迫切。

文件檢驗可以包括手寫或手印的比較；檢測修改或影印機及電腦操作的痕跡；恢復或解讀被擦除和遮蓋的文字；可視化潛在印記；識別印刷過程；以及區分墨水。電腦生成的文件已經相當普遍，電子捕捉的簽名也越來越廣泛，這意味著了解技術的進步以及採用新的經過驗證的文件檢驗技術和方法對於法醫意見的可靠性至關重要。

《21世紀的法醫文件檢驗》包括該主題的最新研究，並由領域內的專家貢獻他們各自的專業知識。這本書將成為文獻中的一個受歡迎的補充，並支持在法庭上作為專家證詞使用的方法和程序的基礎，為法醫文件檢驗師、受訓者以及在刑事和法律社群中使用專家文件檢驗和證人服務的人士提供資源。
