How is forensic document examination different from graphology?
Graphologists analyze handwriting to interpret the writer’s character and personality. Forensic document examination involves handwriting comparison to determine authorship and examination of a document as a whole. This analysis can include examination of typewritten or machine-generated documents; detection of alterations; decipherment of obliterated and indented writing; examination of watermarks, rubber stamps, and other impressions; and ink differentiation.
