Handwriting Forgery~

As another part of our lab experiences in Isaac Bear, each student made a fake check, using a fake name, but writing in our own handwriting. Next, we were to rip our check apart and place it into an envelope. Mr. Kelly then mixed up the envelopes and gave us each a different envelope with a different check. We were then required to put the check back together and identify the person who wrote the check. After comparing the handwriting of the check to my classmate’s handwriting, I was able to discover the owner of the check. This method of Handwriting Analysis is not accurate but sometimes used when trying to catch the criminal of a crime. I can only imagine the difficulty the police go through when comparing the different handwritings, although, in todays society we have technology for this sort of thing.
