From the Back Cover
John R. Vanderkolk
With no such thing as a perfect match in the field of forensic comparative science, Forensic Comparative Science: Qualitative Quantitative Source Determination of Unique Impressions, Images, and Objects describes how experience, understanding, and judgment are necessary for concluding whether two unique images share common origin from a unique and persistent source.
Knowing there will be ranges of different levels of details throughout images, the expert must be able to comprehend when a sufficient quality and quantity of details is reached to render a judgment. By utilizing a process of analyzing the first image, analyzing the second image, comparing them to each other, and evaluating the significance of the analyses and comparisons based on expertise, the comparative scientist will be able to recognize the belief and believe the recognition that occurs during comparative examinations.
Forensic Comparative Science presents a philosophical and theoretical approach to explaining the cognitive process of comparative measurements and source determination. Science is about understanding and generalizing nature. This book is about generalizing comparative science.
Brings the comparative sciences under one philosophy of understanding
Describes ranges of levels of details within images, qualitative quantitative sufficiency, the examination process and conclusions, no matter the specific comparative science discipline
A ‘must read’ for all forensic science students, trainees, and active examiners throughout the world who have an interest in comparative sciences and want a compilation of many disciplines under one generalized philosophy of examination
John R. Vanderkolk received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Forensic Studies and Psychology from Indiana University in 1979.

In 1996 he became the manager of the Indiana State Police Laboratory, Fort Wayne, and still serves in that capacity. Vanderkolk is a distinguished member of the International Association for Identification, a member of the Journal of Forensic Identification editorial board, the FBI sponsored Scientific Working Group for Friction Ridge Analysis, Study, and Technology, and the NIST/NIJ sponsored Expert Working Group on Human Factors in Latent Print Analysis.
