24
Q

Forensic Science

A

its broadest definition is the application of science to law. It applies the knowledge and technology of science for the definition and enforcement of such laws.

25
Q

Father of Forensic Science

A

Edmond Locard

26
Q

Criminalistics

A

is a branch of forensic science which includes personal identification, police photography, forensic ballistics, questioned documents examination, polygraph (Lie Detection Techniques), Forensic Chemistry and Legal medicine. Hans Gross is considered as the Father of Criminalistics.

27
Q

Mathieu Orfila

A

is considered the father of toxicology. He published the first scientific treatise on the detection of poisons and their effects on animals.

28
Q

Alphonse Bertillon

A

He devised the science of anthropometry in 1879, the first scientific system of personal identification. He is considered as the father of personal identification.

29
Q

Anthropometry

A

is a systematic procedure of taking a series of body measurements as a means of distinguishing one individual from another. Anthropometry was eventually replaced by fingerprinting in the early 1900s.

30
Q

Francis Galton

A

undertook the first definitive study of fingerprints and developed a methodology of classifying them for filing.

31
Q

Leone Lattes

A

He devised a relatively simple procedure for determining the blood group of a dried bloodstain, a technique that he immediately applied to criminal investigations

32
Q

Dr Karl Landsteiner

A

discovered that blood can be grouped into different categories. These blood groups or types are now recognized as A, B, AB and O.

33
Q

Calvin Goddard

A

To determine whether or not a particular gun has fired a bullet requires a comparison of the bullet with one that has been test fired from the suspect’s weapon. Col Goddard refined a technique of such an examination by using the comparison microscope.

34
Q

Albert S. Osborn

A

Osborn’s development of the fundamental principles of document examination was responsible for the acceptance of documents as scientific evidence by the courts

35
Q

Hans Gross

A

36
Q

Edmond Locard

A

It was Locard’s belief that when a criminal came in contact with an object or person, a cross-transfer of evidence occurred (Locard’s Exchange Principle). The exchange of materials between two objects that occurs whenever two objects come into contact with one another.

37
Q

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION

A

It is a collective term that refers to the different methods of determining the identity of an individual. In the study of personal identification as a subject, the focus is dactyloscopy.

38
Q

Dactyloscopy

A

is the science of fingerprint classification and identification. Dactylography refers to the scientific study of fingerprints as a means of identification. The term dactyloscopy was derived from two Greek words, dactyl which means finger and skopien which means to study.

39
Q

Fingerprints

A

are impressions made by the ridges on the inside of the last joint of the finger or thumb on any smooth surface through the media of an ink, sweat or any reagent capable of producing visibility.

40
Q

Ridges

A

are tiny elevation or hill like structures found on the epidermis layer of the skin.

41
Q

Furrows

A

are the canal-like impression or depression found between the ridges.

42
Q

Father of modern fingerprints

A

Sir Edward Richard Henry

43
Q

grandfather of dactyloscopy

A

Marcelo Malpighi

44
Q

Principle of Individuality

A

States that there are no two persons having the same fingerprints. (Based on statistical probability). That it would be impossible for any two persons to have a similar fingerprints

45
Q

Principle of Immutability/Permanency/Constancy

A

States that once ridges are fully develop, their general arrangement remains the same throughout a person’s life

46
Q

Principle of Infallibility

A

States that fingerprints cannot be forged and they provide a reliable and positive means of identification.

47
Q

eight (8) fingerprint patterns in the Henry System of Fingerprint Classification

A
  • The Plain Arch
  • Tented Arch
  • Ulnar Loop
  • Radial Loop
  • Plain Whorl
  • Accidental Whorl
  • Central Pocket Loop Whorl
  • the Double Loop Whorl
48
Q

Plain Arch (A)

A

is a pattern in which the ridges flows from one side to the other with a slight raise at the center. It has no core and no delta.

49
Q

Tented Arch (T)

A

is a type of pattern where majority of the ridges form an arch.

50
Q

Elements of loop:

A
  • It must have a core
  • It must have a delta
  • It must have a recurving ridge that passes between the delta and the core
  • It must have a ridge count of at least one
51
Q

Radial Loop (R)

A

is a type of loop pattern in which the slanting or looping ridges flows toward the thumb finger

52
Q

Ulnar Loop (U)

A

is a type of loop pattern in which the slanting or looping ridges flows toward the little finger
