B. Fingerprint identification ranks second in DNA to identify murderers, rapists and ither serious offenders
C. Remains the most commonly used forensic evidence worldwide-in most jurisdictions fingerprint examination cases match or outnumber all other forensic examination casework combined
D. Continues to expand as the premier method for identifying persons, with tens of thousands of persons added to fingerprint repositories daily in America alone-far outdistancing similar databases in growth
