At a crime scene, most of the information (evidence) can be used to provide information for evaluating what did or could not have happened and involving whom. Fingerprints are a type of evidence that are often found at crime. Unique characteristics, and the unchanged friction ridge of each individual’s skin over their life renders the ability to use fingerprints to identify the individual concerned. There are two general types of fingerprint evidence that can be found at the crime scene or on objects related to it that is the visible and the latent fingerprint, but they are not mutually exclusive. This study is mainly concerned with latent prints.
