Biometry is essential when it comes to personal identification and verification in forensic applications, and the fingerprint is one of the most commonly used biometric features in the field of biometric identification. To detect fingerprints at the crime scene, to collect and transfer fingerprints in a way not to modify its nature, to make appropriate enhancements without causing loss of data on fingerprints, to preserve and store fingerprints are complex processes. Appropriate realization of these processes is essential for crime scene investigation. This study analyses and evaluates the crime scene investigation in a detailed way from a computer science perspective with a special focus on fingerprints, and whole process is divided into three components. In light of the studies conducted in the literature, 14 main problems that are encountered in the realization of these three components have been identified and criticized. Afterwards, the disciplines supported by forensic science, and the components that compose the crime scene are evaluated on the basis of four basic challenges encountered in the processes. Finally, to overcome 14 problems and four challenges, six technology-supported solutions are presented.
