• Participation Requested

The White Box Latent Print Examiner Study is asking practicing Latent Print Examiners to participate in a follow-on to the Black Box Study performed two years ago. In Black Box, we focused on accuracy and reproducibility of examiners’ decisions. In White Box, the focus is on understanding the basis for these determinations. The purpose is to characterize what constitutes sufficient quantity and quality of features to support analysis (value) determinations and comparison/evaluation determinations. The study is being conducted by the FBI Laboratory and Noblis. If you are interested in being part of this study refer to White Box Request for Participation
