Which approach is your laboratory using for the determination of suitability ?
[header]<p><strong>Approach #1 (commonly referred to as “of value for identification”): </strong>Only impressions of value for individualization are compared. If a latent print cannot be individualized when presented with the correct (corresponding) examplars from the same source as the latent print, then the latent print is deemed “no value”. Under this approach, when an “inconclusive” opinion is rendered, it <em><strong>always</strong></em> means “I need additional examplars to complete the comparison”.</p><p><strong>Approach #2 (commonly referred to as “of value for comparison”): </strong>Impressions of value for individualization (and possibly for exclusion value only) are considered. If a latent print bears some corresponding characteristics to a clear, known exemplar, but insufficient to individualize, I would report “Inconclusive”.  Under this approach, when an “inconclusive” opinion is rendered, it may be for several reasons (e.g. quality or completeness of the exemplars, insufficient characteristics to individualize, unable to locate in the exemplars, etc.)</p>[/header]
