Suspect Identities: A History of Fingerprinting and Criminal Identification
Simon A. Cole
Cole excavates the forgotten global history of criminal identification—from photography to exotic anthropometric systems based on measuring body parts, from fingerprinting to DNA typing. He reveals how fingerprinting ultimately won the trust of the public and the law after a long battle against rival identification systems.
