Fingerprint examination & Development
Fingerprint evidence can play a major role in crime scene investigation as it can prove or disprove the persons identification. No two people have the same fingerprints, not even identical twins. fingerprints remain unchanged, even as we get older. There are three main fingerprint patterns, called arches, loops and whorls. The
shape, size, number and arrangement of minor details in these patterns make each fingerprint unique. Fingerprints could be present on any place like documents, walls,
chairs, weapons, door handles etc.
In forensic science, fingerprints left at the crime scene which are not visible to naked eye are known as Latent prints. Such latent prints require optical, physical and chemical techniques. Identifying latent fingerprints is an important part of evidence collection, and forensic fingerprint experts are specialized in retrieving fingerprints from a crime scene. In crime scene, fingerprints must be examined thoroughly; employing optical techniques should be preferred first as these are non destructive in nature and considerably improves the results obtained by physical or chemical methods depending on the surface on which fingerprints are present.
The main purpose in developing latent fingerprints is to make them visible so as to preserve them and compare them with the fingerprints from suspects, who are suspected to be involved in that particular criminal act.
