The third concerns latent prints, including the analysis and comparison of traces found at a crime scene. 
Finally, the fourth concerns different fields such as deceased and missing persons, attempts to counterfeit fingerprints, 
biometric recognition, cross-border service applications and the use of fingerprints in archaeology and anthropology.
