FINGERPRINTS

History of Fingerprints

HISTORY OF FINGERPRINTING Chinese used fingerprints to sign legal documents as far back as three thousand years ago William Herschel, an English civil servant (India), required natives to sign contracts with an imprint of their right hand – Hindu custom?

HISTORY OF FINGERPRINTING In 1880, Scottish physician, Henry Fauld wrote that skin ridge patterns could be important in identification work A thief left his fingerprint on a whitewashed wall – compared with 1st suspect - No match; compared with 2nd suspect with positive association

HISTORY OF FINGERPRINTING Fauld offered to set up a system of fingerprints at Scotland Yard (at his own expense) Rejected in favor of the Bertillon System This decision reversed less than two decades later

HISTORY OF FINGERPRINTING The first systematic attempt at personal identification was devised and introduced by the French police expert, Alphonse Bertillon, in 1883.

Bertillon’s System Relied on: Portraite Parlé – Detailed description of the individual Full length and profile photographs Anthropometry – A system of precise body measurements

ANTHROPOMETRY A method of identification Based upon the premise that the dimensions of the human skeletal system remained fixed from age 20 until death Eleven (11) measurements taken - to include height, width of head & length of left foot

FRANCIS GALTON In 1892, published the classic work Finger Prints In this book he discussed the anatomy of fingerprints and suggested methods for recording them Proposed three pattern types: loops, whorls and arches

FRANCIS GALTON No two prints are identical An individual’s prints remain unchanged from one year to the next

SIR EDWARD HENRY Englishman In 1897, proposed another classification system which is still in use today Most English-speaking countries use some version of Henry’s classification system

In the United States 1901 – First systematic use of fingerprints adopted by the New York Civil Service Commission 1904 – American police received training in fingerprint techniques from Scotland Yards representatives 1924 – Fingerprint records from the Bureau of Investigation and Leavenworth merged to form records for the new FBI

Admissibility of Fingerprints Challenged in the case of United States v. Byron C. Mitchell Argued under Daubert guidelines that fingerprints were not unique Judge upheld admissibility and ruled: 1. Human friction ridges are unique and permanent 2. Human friction ridge skin arrangements are unique and permanent

PHYSIOLOGY OF FINGERPRINTS

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS FIRST PRINCIPLE: Friction Ridges develop their Unique form in the fetus

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS SECOND PRINCIPLE: A Fingerprint will remain LARGELY UNCHANGED during an Individual’s Lifetime

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS THIRD PRINCIPLE: Friction Ridge Patterns and their details are UNIQUE No Two Fingers have yet been found to possess IDENTICAL RIDGE CHARACTERISTICS (even identical twins!!)

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS FOURTH PRINCIPLE: FINGERPRINTS CAN BE SYSTEMATICALLY CLASSIFIED by GENERAL RIDGE PATTERNS

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS MINUTIAE - Ridge Characteristics Define Individuality IDENTITY NUMBER RELATIVE LOCATION COMPARE POINT BY POINT POSSIBLY 150 POINTS ON THE AVERAGE FINGERPRINT

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS MINUTIAE - Ridge Characteristics Define Individuality HOW MANY POINTS MAKE A MATCH? Depends on experience and knowledge of the examiner Usually 8 to 16

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS FRICTION SKIN RIDGES Palm Side of Fingers and Thumbs Soles of Feet Provide Firmer Grasp Resistance to Slippage Lines corresponding to Hills (ridges) & Valleys (grooves)

SKIN COMPOSED OF LAYERS OF CELLS EPIDERMIS - OUTER DERMIS - INNER LAYER DERMAL PAPILLAE - IN BETWEEN

SKIN RIDGES CONTAIN PORES Openings for ducts from sweat glands Perspiration discharged to surface of skin Transfer is called LATENT FINGERPRINTS

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS ARCHES 5% LOOPS 60% - 65% WHORLS 30% - 35%

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS ARCHES - least common of three general patterns RIDGES ENTER ONE SIDE OF PATTERN AND EXIT ANOTHER PLAIN ARCHES - wavelike pattern TENTED ARCHES - sharp spike

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS LOOPS - most common type Ridges enter one side and exit same side ULNAR LOOP - opens toward little finger RADIAL LOOP - opens toward thumb

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS LOOPS - CORE TYPE LINES DELTA

FUNDAMENTALS OF FINGERPRINTS WHORLS - FOUR TYPES Plain Central pocket loop Double loop Accidental ALL HAVE TWO DELTAS & TYPE LINES

FINGERPRINT DEVELOPMENT

VISIBLE - Types of Fingerprints RIDGES PLACED ON A SURFACE AFTER CONTACT WITH A COLORED MATERIAL (blood, paint,grease, ink)

RIDGES LEFT ON A SOFT MATERIAL Types of Fingerprints PLASTIC - RIDGES LEFT ON A SOFT MATERIAL (putty, wax, soap, dust)

TRANSFER OF BODY PERSPIRATION OR OILS Types of Fingerprints LATENT - HIDDEN OR INVISIBLE TRANSFER OF BODY PERSPIRATION OR OILS MUST BE ENHANCED

NON-POROUS Types of Surfaces GLASS, MIRROR, PLASTIC, PAINTED SURFACES ENHANCE WITH SUPER GLUE and/or POWDER

ENHANCE WITH CHEMICALS Types of Surfaces POROUS PAPER, CARDBOARD, CLOTH ENHANCE WITH CHEMICALS

METHODS OF ENHANCEMENT FINGERPRINT POWDERS BLACK (white surfaces) GRAY (dark surfaces) FLUORESCENT (multi-colored surfaces) MAGNETIC (leather or rough plastic) ADHERES TO PERSPIRATION and/or BODY OILS

METHODS OF ENHANCEMENT CHEMICALS IODINE FUMING NINHYDRIN - - REACTS WITH PROTEINS PHYSICAL DEVELOPER - - SILVER NITRATE BASED - USED WHEN OTHER METHODS UNSUCCESSFUL

METHODS OF ENHANCEMENT CHEMICALS SUPER GLUE FUMING - CYANOACRYLATE ESTER NON-POROUS SURFACES CREATE FUMES WITH HEAT PORTABLE WAND AVAILABLE

METHODS OF ENHANCEMENT FLUORESENCE PERSPIRATION CONTAINS COMPONENTS THAT FLUORESCE WHEN ILLUMINATED WITH LASER LIGHT HIGHLY SENSITIVE ALTERNATE LIGHT SOURCE QUARTZ HALOGEN ZENON ARC INDIUM ARC DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH DNA TESTING
