This Friday, February 28th 12.30pm. Presenter Professor Simon Cole.

Courthouse Libraries BC and the Criminal Defense Advocacy Society presents: Are fingerprints really unique? Why it matters in criminal cases.

In January 2023, science journalists breathlessly reported a newly published “discovery” that fingerprints were not, in fact, unique. This talk explains why this claimed discovery was not only incorrect but also focused on the wrong question about the usefulness of fingerprint identification and other “feature-comparison” forensic techniques.

Participants in this presentation may claim up to 1.0 hours of CPD credit with LSBC.
