Inaccuracy
Handwriting analysis is a proven and useful method in forensic science, but it still is not the most accurate form in the use of locating the criminal. The ability to create convincing forgeries have made people question the science of handwriting analysis and its use. Amongst a very precise science like Forensics, handwriting analysis can appear more speculative than other methods such as fingerprinting, hair and fiber analysis, and DNA analysis. There are multiple reasons of how it doesn't compare to the more valuable and less speculative forms of forensins such as imitation which is the copying of the a persons handwriting often done by a professional. Then there is the problem having to match the handwriting which means that there would have to be an example to compare to, moreover; requiring the example to be the person natural handwriting making that much more inaccurate.
Techniques
To make a goood analysis of the evidential handwriting forensic scientist using a seris of questions comparing the handwritting to one another. Some questions include How big are the letters? How close are they together? How much space is between words? ow hard does the writer press the pen/pencil to the paper? Is the writing in straight line? Does the writer tend to gravitate up or down? o the letters flow together or is each letter printed separetly? ow do the capital letters connect to the lowercase ones? o the individual letters slant one way or another?
