Abstract: The forensic fingerprint identification process based on the ACE-V method, widely implemented, makes absolute identification or exclusion decisions that depend on opinions that vary from expert to expert (for example, whether we consider an observed characteristic to be minor or not). ) and is subject to cognitive biases on the part of experts that are difficult to escape. This presentation shows how it is possible to evaluate fingerprint evidence in the same reasoning framework that is used with DNA evidence based on the estimation of likelihood ratios (LRs).
