Fingerprints

The study of fingerprints is the best means available for identifying individuals. Fingerprinting is a simple and inexpensive means of recording an unchanging characteristic of an individual. Fingerprint records are consulted to determine if there is any prior criminal record. They help in determining the identity of the dead or injured. First the anthropometrical system introduced by Alphonse Bertillon in 1882 was used as the means of individual identification. But in 1896 Argentina became the first country to introduce dactyloscopy with the formation of a fingerprint classification system developed by Dr. Juan Vucetich.

In 1897 in India Inspector Edward Henry worked out his fingerprint classifica­tion system. And by the beginning of World War I England and practically all of Europe were using dactyloscopy. This method is still used today though it has been further improved.

Fingerprints are perhaps the most common form of physical evidence and certainly one of the most valuable. They relate directly to the final aim of every criminal investi­gation – the identification of an offender.

Fingerprints of the offender are often found at the crime scene. However, the prints can be eas­ily destroyed by the first careless act. They are also, in many cases, diffi­cult to find, especially latent prints. So it is necessary that the crime investigator make a thorough search of all surfaces in and around the crime scene. Particular attention should be paid to such places as the backs of chairs, table tops, telephone, etc.

Valuable help in obtaining latent prints may be given from a person who knows the usual lay­out of the crime scene. He may point out articles that are out of place or identify objects that may have been brought in by the criminal. The possibility that the weapons of science can be turned against itself by the forging of fingerprints cannot be ignored. At least forgery is of theoretical importance.
