Recovering fingerprints from various materials; automatically processing fingerprints; getting additional information (not just the image itself) from fingerprints.
Crimes such as homicide and theft, and drugs such as heroin and cocaine have always been of public concern, and there has been a recent focus on areas such as child sexual abuse, modern slavery, new psychoactive substances, online fraud, and online indecent images of children.
