Part-A
Theory 100 marks
Chapter I History of Fingerprint science and it’s developments.
Anthropometry, the origin of fingerprint science and the stages of it’ evolution, the pioneering contributions to fingerprint science and its’ development through times, Galton, Herschel, Faulds Henry, Aziz-ul-Haque and others
Chapter II Science of fingerprint identification
When fingerprint was first conceived as a tool of identification and tracing the origin & circumstances leading to it’s use. It’s Impact on the jurisprudence, policing and homeland security. The chief contributors and their contributions in this sphere – Galton, Faulds, E.R. Henry, Chatterjee and others
Chapter III Taking fingerprints of living persons and of dead bodies.
The different procedures of recording fingerprints, the methods of taking fingerprints of living & dead, rigor mortise, techniques of recording fingerprints of dead bodies of different stages, viz, immediately after death & after rigor mortis, decomposed & charred bodies. Precautions that are to be taken during the process, need of taking fingerprints of cadavers and its’ subsequent use. Modern trend – Fingerprint enrolment device (FED) or live scanner. Conventional method of recording print vis-a-vis FED- a comparative study- the need & utilities of FED in today’s scenario.
Chapter IV Classification and sub classification system for recording fingerprint slips and for conducting search.
Fingerprint Patterns – core & delta, counting & tracing of ridges, evolution of different system of classifications, and their modification till date, their utilities,
Henry system and other systems of classification. Classifications of ten-digit fingerprint slip & search, Classification formula, Classification of palm prints.
Chapter- V Comparison of papillary ridge counts
Papillary ridge, methods of comparison of papillary ridges, need of comparison and marking of ridge characteristics in identical prints, Poroscopy, and Edgeoscopy.
Chapter-VI Single digit classification and its usefulness
The meaning of single digit classification, its’ usefulness through the times, its’ present day needs and utilities; single print classification and the disadvantages of the single digit system.
Chapter-VII Application of fingerprint science in detection of crimes
The significance of fingerprint science in crime detection through the ages, forgery in fingerprints, document case examination & furnishing of expert opinion thereof, Contribution of fingerprint science towards domestic and global security.
Chapter-VIII Scene of Crime & Evidence in the court of law
Scene of Crime Prints, types of Chance Prints, composition of sweat and various modern techniques used in their lifting/developments on different surfaces/articles. Presentation of fingerprint evidence before the court of law. Cross examination, legal provisions and other related matters.
Chapter-IX Application of law of probability to fingerprint science
