FISH in reference to handwriting examination is an acronym of :

  • A.Forensic Information System for Handwriting
  • B.Forensic Identification of Signature and Handwriting
  • C.Forensic Identification System for Handwriting
  • D.Forensic Identification System for Handwriting and Signature

Answer: A

FISH stands for Forensic Information System for Handwriting.

FISH is a computer system developed in Germany and adopted by the United States Secret Service in the 1990s. Scanned handwriting, especially threatening letters, is measured and stored, so that a new questioned writing can be searched against the collection to find possible matches for a document examiner to compare.

The other expansions change 'Information System' into 'Identification', which is not the system's name; it narrows a search, and the final identification is still made by a human examiner.
