SLOPPY COPY - A DESIGN BRIEF
This challenge is one in a series of investigations that concentrates on forensic science (in this case, fingerprinting) and the process skills associated with pursuing such inquiries. It should be noted that students may not find irrefutable evidence in this forensic investigation. It is for this reason that a variety of interpretations may be valid and should be accepted so long as these contentions are supported by data.
