Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Identification or identity helps us to determine the individuality of person, living or dead. Establishing the identity is of immense importance in forensic medicine. The spectrum of identity covers various aspects like physical, social, psychological, personal, sexual etc. In day to day life it is very simple to identify the person. But when it comes to court of law the complexity of the identification process increases. Most important use of fingerprints is in crime scene. To ascertain criminal liability, identification of victim, witness or suspect needs the help of fingerprint analysis. The relativity is an important drawback of this technique as it needs some reference to compare with. It has a unique characteristic, mark or pattern that can be used to identify somebody or something. Literature has reports published on association of fingerprints with blood group, gender, sex. Therefore through this study we are trying to find out is there any correlation exist between blood group, gender and sex with finger print patterns. Our study reiterates that if fingerprint patterns and blood groups are studied properly further deep it may help in prediction of blood groups based on fingerprint pattern available.
