Fingerprinting is a part of biometrics. It helps to identify the physical or biological characteristics of people. There are three main fingerprint patterns through which arch, loop, and whorls can be identified. These patterns help organize the arrangement of shapes, sizes, numbers, and small details.There are many different types of physical
physical evidence found at any crime scene, as the perpetrators are said to have left some marks at the crime scene. For example - tool marks where a door was forced open may indicate a point of entry, shoe prints may indicate a path of travel, or blood stains may indicate an area where a door was forced open. Each piece of this physical evidence is a valuable object capable of providing general information about spatial relationships between people and events. Additionally, the application of forensic testing and analysis can make any of these exhibits a potential way to solve a crime.
Along with DNA, fingerprints can play a crucial role in identifying victims after natural or man-made disasters such as earthquakes or bombings. This is important not only for the police investigating the incident, but also for the families concerned to know their loved ones.
The conditions investigators encounter at the scene will largely dictate the methods used to process the scene. A homicide will likely require more processing than a burglary. Various steps we follow to ensure a thorough process.
