The goal of this article is to assess the generalizability of the results of published studies on the accuracy and reliability of fingerprint comparison to fingerprint laboratory casework and/or to provide information on the error rate of the Analysis-Comparison-Evaluation (ACE) method. We examine the 13 previously published investigations on the accuracy and reliability of fingerprint comparisons. Since criminal courts began accepting forensic fingerprint evidence approximately 120 years ago, these papers represent the whole body of experimental research published on the reliability of fingerprint comparisons. We begin with the two recent, sizable investigations by Ulery, Hicklin, Buscaglia, and Roberts in order to address the issues raised in the National Academy of Sciences report and to provide estimates of the accuracy and reliability of fingerprint comparisons. The other eleven .. View More»
