Forensic Handwriting Examination: A Systems Approach

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) convened a multi-disciplinary working group to examine the specific challenges impacting the forensic analysis of handwriting specimens. The Expert Working Group for Human Factors in Handwriting Examination issued a report in 2018 entitled Handwriting Examination and Human Factors: Improving the Practice Through a Systems Approach. Since handwriting analysis involves human perception and interpretation, setting and upholding standards is necessarily a study of human factors. Inadequate training, extraneous knowledge about the suspects in the case or other matters, poor judgment, limitations of vision, complex technology, and stress are but a few factors that can contribute to errors. Poor management, insufficient resources, and substandard working conditions are other possibilites. This panel will familiarize the audience with the content of the report, the methods used in handwriting examination, the conclusions that may be reached, and recommendations from the report regarding statistical approaches, report content and limitations with respect to expert testimony. 0:05 - Program Chair: Matthew Redle, Sheridan County Attorney 1:55 - Moderator: Kenneth E.
