Biometrics and human identity

You are getting your hands on a completely unique and unrepeatable book, whose international team of authors is a mixed team of university teachers of the Police Academy of the Czech Republic, Masaryk University and other universities in the Czech Republic, Britain, Germany and Switzerland, but also forensic experts and experts from the Institute of Criminalistics. Nineteen chapters discuss in detail the different biometric methods and applications (bertillonage, fingerprints and palm prints, geometry of the hand shape, of the bloodstream of the palm and back of the hand, dna, recognizing a person by their face, the shape of the ear, voice, of the iris and retina, signing and typing on a computer keyboard). And always from two basic perspectives: from the point of view of forensic science, i.e. the use of biometric principles and applications for the needs of law enforcement agencies (police officers, criminologists, investigators, forensic experts, defence lawyers and judges) and in terms of commercially usable applications for private protection of persons and property.
