  Fingerprint analysts are given two prints to compare. They look at the fingerprint from the crime scene print, then look at the suspects prints, then back to the crime scene print looking for points of comparison and change analysis throughout the process
• Approach

  1. Analyse crime scene print on its own, while looking for and recording any unique features and deciding if there is enough detail to make a comparison - without any additional info
  2. Later, extra info will then be given in order of importance to the case to help make a comparison
  3. The expert can then revisit and his/her analysis but cannot delete or make changes to initial interpretations. They cannot say how confident they are in saying its a match or not
