ABSTRACT
The complex nature of handwriting analysis in Criminal law has made life delicate for crime investigators. It's through various documents similar as self-murder notes or choices that the investigators are suitable to ascertain whether crimes were committed or not. A thorough analysis of these documents generally tells of whether phony took place and thereby prosecutes the lawbreaker. It's common miracle to substantiation lack of authenticity in one’s hand due to phoney and misrepresentation. According to Cohen (2003, pp 105), a sample of one’s handwriting is thus needed for comparison purposes. The indicted is generally needed to give a handwritten document conforming of various jotting ways in order to have a wide base for comparison with the ‘real’ document. Many say that the comparison between the original and sample document generally aims at checking on the parallels. To the negative, it's the significant differences that are of interest in this analysis. Cohen states that a comparison is therefore made between the two sets on the base of observable differences (2003, pp108). It's occasionally necessary to employ the use of a microscope or magnifying glass for a near and better scrutiny of the documents. The letter form, line form and formatting include but a many of the factors reviewed in this analysis. According to Saferstein (2000, pp 183), it's still worthwhile to note that the reliance on one piece of substantiation may be deceiving and may thus victimize the innocent. The analysis of one’s handwriting objectively is thus moxie to avoid cases of mismatch and eventual wrong conviction.
