While a good way to apprehend a suspect, handwriting analysis is not a full proof way to apprehend the criminal. The number of ways analysis may be skewed are
- Illnesses, exhaustion, and drugs may manipulate the handwriting of an individual
- The quality of the handwritten piece must match the handwritten piece being compared in quality
- Handwriting may change over time
The comparisons made between two handwritten pieces may differ from one analyst to the other leaving debate in a courtroom. Although rare, extraordinarily good con artists may forge documents or statements that look exactly like another's handwriting. While gaining popular support in forensic science, many scientists debate it is not a full proof way to sentence the accused (assuming they are guilty).
