FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
OF FINGERPRINTS fingerprint is an individual
characteristic. fingerprint will remain unchanged
during an individual’s lifetime. Fingerprints have general
characteristic ridge patterns that permit them to be systematically classified.

LATENT PRINTS not visible to naked eye. prints consist of natural
secretions of human skin & require development for them to become visible.
Most secretions come from three glands

Chapter 4
DEVELOPING LATENT PRINTS
Developing a print requires substances that interact with secretions that cause the print to stand out against its background. It may be necessary to attempt more than one technique, done in a particular order so as not to destroy the print.
Powders—adhere to both water and fatty deposits. Choose a color to contrast the background.
Iodine—fumes react with oils and fats to produce a temporary yellow brown reaction.
![Page 33: Fingerprints](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a14/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Chapter 4
DEVELOPING LATENT PRINTS
Ninhydrin—reacts with amino acids to produce a purple color.
Silver nitrate—reacts with chloride to form silver chloride, a material which turns gray when exposed to light.
Cyanoacrylate—“super glue” fumes react with water and other fingerprint constituents to form a hard, whitish deposit.
In modern labs and criminal investigations, lasers and alternative light sources are used to view latent fingerprints. These were first used by the FBI in 1978. Since lasers can damage the retina of the eye, special precautions must be taken.

Chapter 4
AFIS The Automated Fingerprint Identification System - a
computer system for storing and retrieving fingerprints Began in the early 1970’s to:
Search large files for a set of prints taken from an individual Compare a single print, usually a latent print developed from a
crime scene By the 1990’s most large jurisdictions had their own
system in place. The problem - a person’s fingerprints may be in one AFIS but not in others
IAFIS—the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification system which is a national database of all 10-print cards from all over the country
![Page 44: Fingerprints](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164fd550346895dd76a14/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Chapter 4
Biometrics Use of some type of body metrics for the purpose of
identification. (The Bertillon system may actually have been the first biometry system.)
Used today in conjunction with AFIS Examples include retinal or iris patterns, voice recognition,
hand geometry Other functions for biometrics—can be used to control entry
or access to computers or other structures; can identify a person for security purposes; can help prevent identity theft or control social services fraud.
