Aspects Related to the Criminal Investigation of the Signature's Modifications

Summary/Abstract: The criminal investigation of the signature, used by the hand writing experts, will be able to demonstrate that the examined signatures are genuine or forgeries. The signature is presumed to be finished at the end of the period in which the handwriting itself has been perfected, but, during the academic cycle, due to various needs and circumstances, the signature can change. We tried to extract, by examining signature characteristics, some statistics related to the general characteristics and specific aspects of the examined signatures. It was possible to distinguish between different student categories reflected in the evolution of their signatures. In the past few years, there has been a spectacular depreciation of the quality of handwriting. It is not hard to understand why: handwriting is losing ground, gradually replaced by typing,on computers or other electronic devices. Even if writing disappeared as a habit, olograph signatures will still exist for a long time by necessity.The criminal investigation of the signature, used by the hand writing experts, will be able to demonstrate that the examined signatures are genuine or forgeries.
