Impression and Pattern Evidence
One of the most common forms of evidence investigators may detect and collect at a crime scene is impression and pattern evidence. Impression and pattern evidence can help link a suspect or tool to a particular crime scene. New or improved techniques to identify, collect, analyze and preserve impression and pattern evidence would greatly aid the forensic community.
