FINGER PRINT AS A PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION TOOL IN FORENSIC SCIENCE

Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

Forensic science deals with various streams of investigating techniques in anthropology among which personal identification techniques has a keen role in the human anthropology investigation. Personal identification can be done using finger print technique. Finger print is the oldest and important investigating tool in forensic science. Fingerprints have general characteristic ridge patterns that allow them to be systematically identified. Fingerprints are made of ridges on the skin on the hands. It is thought that they are formed during pregnancy in a mechanism involving how the blood flows over the skin of the unborn baby. The scientific study of fingerprints began in about 1900. The system is based on three main print patterns: Whorls (Spirals), arches and loops. A fingerprint sample is composed of grease and dried sweat left behind by the tips of the 􀃶ngers. The palms of the hand also leave identifiable prints, as do the soles of the feet. Application of finger print is majorly important in forensic science while investigating cases. Thus, finger print technique has a large scope in development in forensic science.
