Documents are essential sources of information that can vary in type, such as personal, professional, or medical. The authenticity of a document can be questioned if it has been altered or involved in criminal activity. Such documents, referred to as questioned documents, require forensic examination to determine their authenticity. Document examiners utilize various techniques to detect unauthorized alterations made with fraudulent intent. Alteration of documents refers to any unauthorized changes made with the intent to deceive or obscure information. Standard methods of alteration include addition, overwriting, and deletion. Document examiners analyze different aspects of the document, such as ink composition and handwriting characteristics, to identify alterations. Detecting these modifications is vital in criminal investigations, allowing for a clearer understanding of the document's original content. #forensicdocumentexamination #questioneddocumentexamination #forensicscience #alteration #forgery #fraud #crimesceneinvestigation #crimescene #investigation #documentforgery #forgery

The 12 characteristics of handwriting

1. LINE QUALITY

Do the lines flow or are they shaky and irregular? This can indicate the speed of the writing.

2. WORD AND LETTER SPACING

Are the letters and words equally spaced out, or are they bunched together? Or, is there seemingly no pattern to the spacing?

3. SIZE CONSISTENCY

Is the ratio of height to width consistent in each letter?

4. PEN LIFTS

Does the writer lift the pen from the paper or is the writing continuous? Excessive pen lifts can hint at simulation — someone deliberately altering their natural handwriting or copying that of another.

5. CONNECTING STROKES

Are uppercase and lowercase letters connected and continuous?

6. LETTERS COMPLETE

Are the letters fully formed, or are parts missing?

7. CURSIVE AND PRINTED LETTERS

Are the letters cursive, printed, or a combination of both?

8. PEN PRESSURE

Is the pen pressure equal for upward and downward strokes? When is the pressure applied?

9. SLANT

Do the letters slant to the left or the right, or does this vary?

10. BASELINE HABITS

Is the writing on the baseline of the paper, above the line, or below the line?

11. FLOURISHES AND EMBELLISHMENTS

Are there any fancy curls, loops or anything else unusual in the writing?

12. DIACRITIC PLACEMENT

Where are the crosses on t’s and dots on i’s? Are the t’s crossed? Is the cross on the t at the top, middle or bottom of the letter? Are the I’s dotted? If so, are they dotted to the left, the centre, or the right of the I?

Other things to be considered are spelling, phrasing and grammar. While investigating and comparing each of the above categories, the analysers also need to consider the following: Factors that can result in changes to a person’s handwriting:

Age

Mood

How much time they have to write

The writing instrument used

Drink and drugs

Illness

Trying to write differently

Factors that causes changes in Handwriting.

Handwriting is a complicated process. It takes time to develop the coordination of arm, hand and finger movements necessary to write script. It is difficult to change movements quickly in order to create different style letters. Handwriting is also influenced by the physical condition of the writer. Age, disease, medication, drugs, alcohol or stroke can all affect a person’s writing. Conditions that affect handwriting can be temporary (drugs or alcohol), static (paralysis), or progressive (a changing illness). there is a long list of neurological disorders that affect handwriting, some of them are Congenital apraxia, Strephosymbolia, Cerebral hemorrhage/ trauma, Encephalitis, Paralysis agitans, Toxemia/ alcohol, Huntington’s chorea and many more. —————————— #forensic #forensics #forensicscience #forensicfield #forensicballistic #forensicbooks #forensicdocumentexamination #forensicgraphology #graphology #handwriting #documentexamination #questioneddocument #suspecteddocument #forensicstudy #forensicintro #forensicmcq #forgery #forensiclab #calligraphy #criminalistic #criminology #forensiccasestudy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RDj-uFKRM/?igshid=fiyjhlulqho2

Questioned Document Examination:- This video define In forensic science, questioned document examination (QDE) is the examination of documents potentially disputed in a court of law. Its primary purpose is to provide evidence about a suspicious or questionable document using scientific processes and methods. Evidence might include alterations, the chain of possession, damage to the document, forgery, origin, authenticity, or other questions that come up when a document is challenged in court.
