Handwriting

history of handwriting:
Before people could write, tribes and other cultures passed on stories and culture through pictographs that were usually written on rock walls. One of the earliest established systems of writing was the ancient Egyptians system of hieroglyphics around 2800 B.C. which used symbols as different words/letters of their alphabet. The Roman Empire acquired the 23 letter alphabet from Greece, it became popular and spread throughout Europe, northern Africa, and the Persian gulf. By 700 AD, king Charlemagne got a monk to make a standard lettering practice and the system of lower and uppercase was made.

inacuracy in handwriting analysis:
A problem with handwriting analysis is that they cannot be scientifically measured and won’t always be accepted in court cases. Another problem investigators have a problem with is that the writing could be disguised by the criminal so that he is not caught. A criminal could also have written something in cursive because they don’t write in it usually (or visa versa) so that the scientists can’t match it to anything.
