Q

difference between class and individual characteristics

A

class: characteristics that are common among a group of footwear/tire
- ex: size, brand/logo, tread design
individual: unique characteristics observed only on an individual footwear/tire
ex: cuts, scratches, debris, wear pattern

Q

”ridge characteristics (minutiae) ‹†‰‡…Šƒ”ƒ…–‡”‹•

A
  • individual characteristics
  • the identity, number, and relative location of characteristics that impart individuality to a fingerprint
  • 150 minutiae
  • most are partial impressions

Q

3 fundamental principles of fingerprints

A
  1. fingerprints are individual characteristics
  2. a fingerprint remains unchanged during an individual’s lifetime
  3. fingerprints have ridge patterns that permit them to be systematically classified

Q

3 general patterns

A
  1. arch: 5%- does not have a core nor deltas
  2. loop: 65%- one or more ridges enter from one side, recurve, and exit from the same side
    - radial: loop opens toward the thumb
    - ulnar: loop opens toward the little finger
  3. whorl: 30%- must have at least 2 deltas
17
Q

AFIS and characteristics examined

A
  • criminal history and fingerprint database
  • general core axis, pattern type, bifurcations, ending ridges
18
Q

ACE-V

A
  • analysis:
  • comparison
  • evaluation:
  • verification:
19
Q

two factors in latent printing

A
  • sweat
  • contamination
20
Q

factors affecting fingerprints

A
  • age
    -fine ridge structure
  • stimuli
  • occupational and medical condition
  • transposal factors
  • environmental factors
21
Q

It is NOT possible to determine the

A

age, sex, race

22
Q

patent fingerprints

A
  • visible prints
  • left on a smooth surface when blood, in or some other liquid comes into contact with the hands and is transferred to the surface
23
Q

plastic fingerprints

A

actual indentions left in some soft materials such as clay, putty, wax, or dust

24
Q

latent fingerprints

A
  • hidden prints
  • caused by transfer of oils and other body secretions into the surface
  • can be made visible my different methods
25
Q

development of latent fingerprints

A
  • fingerprint powders (applied to a non-observant surface
  • ninhydrin (reacts with amino acids to form a purple-blue print)
    -physical developer ( silver nitrate based solutions)
  • cyanocrylate fuming ( nonporous surfaces)
  • DFO (porous- reacts w/ amino acids)
  • iodine fuming (adheres to grease/oils on porous surface)
