    Abstract

    A grip impression is evidence of contact between the assailant and victim in a case. The shape of the grip impression can be analyzed to reconstruct which part of the palm it contacted. This study explored whether the grip impression left on cotton, nylon, and polyester fabrics can be identified by vacuum metal deposition (VMD). The latent grip impression developed by VMD had limitations in personal identification, but a new possibility was found that could be used as evidence for crime-scene reconstruction.
