Type: article
Abstract: The use of fingermarks as evidence in forensic science remains indispensable with these being used for identification and/or elimination purposes. A wide array of methods and techniques have been developed to enhance, recover, and preserve fingermarks from various surfaces. However, the forensic community continues to encounter challenges when dealing with certain surfaces, among them is anti-climb paint, presenting unique difficulties due to its non-drying nature. This research introduces a systematic methodology, aligned with current forensic practices, to effectively develop and recover fingermarks from surfaces coated with anti-climb paint, addressing a critical gap in forensic science. • Novel method for fingermark recovery from anti-climb paint substrates. • Challenges and mitigations for recovering fingermark evidence from anti-climb paint. • Evaluates environmental impacts for non-destructive recovery.
