Hi, I'm a post grad student at Strathclyde University in Scotland. I'm currently studying for an MPhil in Pure and Applied Chemistry at the Centre for Forensic Science at Strathclyde. My research topic is fingerprints, in particular rationality, objectivity and the science of fingerprints. Part of my research is reading the available literature on the subject, but I am also interested in discovering the views of people around the world working in related professions: fingerprints, csi, the lab, police, law and academia. I have compiled a short survey to help with this area of research and it would assist me greatly if you could spare some time to complete it. The survey is anonymous and should not take more than 10 mins of your time.
It is available here: http://www.eye-2i.net/survey1.html
I would also be very grateful to anyone who could pass the link on to friends or colleagues who work in the areas I listed above, I need to get as many replies as I can in as wide a range of the fields above as I can.
Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Isobel
