Activity 8

The document outlines an activity for students in a criminology course focused on questioned document investigation, specifically methods used in forgery. Students are instructed to create forgeries of a seatmate's signature using traced and simulated methods, with objectives to distinguish between genuine and forged signatures. The activity includes procedures for both traced and simulated forgery, along with spaces for observations and comparisons of the results.

ACTIVITY No. 8
METHODS USED IN FORGERY

Instructions:
1. Request a sample genuine specimen signature from your seatmate.
2. Ask your seatmate to write his signature on a clean white bond paper for tracing process
and at the left box provided on this worksheet for simulated process;
3. Observe and study the forms, shape and the general picture of the signature; and
4. Forge the signature of your seatmate using the following methods:
a. Traced forgery
b. Simulated forgery

Objectives:
1. To be able to distinguish various methods of forgeries;
2. To assess, evaluate and compare forged signature and genuine signature;
3. To determine the distinction between the forged and genuine signature; and
4. To accustomed with the nature of forge signature against genuine signature for prompt
verification.

Materials/Equipment:
1. Laboratory Worksheet
2. Pen or pencil
3. Carbon paper
4. Pen without ink or any pointed object to be used for indent traced forgeries
5. Handheld magnifying glass
