The identification of cell phone users from latent fingerprints
Abstract
In this study, the usefulness of cell phones as a source of latent fingerprints was investigated. Latent fingerprints were lifted from cell phones and compared to fingerprints of the owners of the phones. Identification of the cell phone user was possible in 11% of the latent fingerprints lifted from the cell phones (N = 121).
