Anyone interested in crime missed a very informative meeting last night if they
weren't at Village Link when Martin Leadbetter spoke on The Forensics of
Fingerprinting, its past, present and future. It has been known about since the
17th century but it wasn't until the turn of the last century that it was adoped
by police forces across the world. Currently one in ten people in Britain have
their fingerprints on file. They are used not just for establishing guilt but
also innocence, identity and even for telling fakes from the real thing.
Our next meeting is on Thursday 17th October at 8pm when a
representative from Paradise Park Broxbourne will speak on Breeding and
Conservation.
Entry is £10 for a year's subscription or £4 for one meeting
