FORENSIC SCIENCE 2

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION TECHNIQUE

Introduction

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION

information includes a person´s important documents, such as birth

certificates, driver´s licenses, and social security cards. It also includes

documents like visas, firearms licenses, passports, government and employment

I.D.

Numerous methods have been used for personal identification in forensic

odontology, which include rugoscopy, cheiloscopy, bite marks, radiographs,

photographic study and molecular methods.

FORENSIC IDENTIFICATION

is the application of forensic science, or "forensics", and technology to identify

specific objects from the trace evidence they leave, often at a crime scene or the

scene of an accident? Forensic means "for the courts"

PURPOSE OF FORENSIC IDENTIFICATION IN SOLVING CRIME?

Forensic data, such as fingerprints and DNA, is generally unique to an individual,

and so can confirm a person's identity and presence at a crime scene.

Importantly, it can also help prove a suspect's innocence.

DACTYLOSCOPY

The forensic analysis and comparison of fingerprints as a means of identification

of individuals.

 In 1892, for the first time, law enforcement authorities officially used

dactyloscopic identification to single out the perpetrator of the murder. The

1
case concerned the murder of two children of a woman named Rojas, who

herself suffered a neck injury during the incident.

 The story of dactyloscopy, the science of fingerprint identification, dates back

several centuries to ancient China, around 300 AD, when fingerprints were used as

evidence in theft trials.

 GENEROSO REYES became the first Filipino fingerprint technician employed in the

Philippine Constabulary, while Isabela Bernales was the first Filipina fingerprint

technician.

FINGERPRINT

 is an impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger.

 Human fingerprints are detailed, nearly unique, difficult to alter, and durable

over the life of an individual, making them suitable as long-term markers of

human identity.

 When a fingerprint is found at a crime scene it is known as a 'finger mark' or

'latent print'.

WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANCE OF FINGERPRINT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT?

 Fingerprints provide police with extremely strong physical evidence tying

suspects to evidence or crime scenes.

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION

Is the process of determining the individuality, identity and or unique peculiarity of

a person?

CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION

Is the process of identifying the certainty of a person responsible in the

commission of a crime which may be accorded by a witness or by the victims

itself in the pursuit of justice?

RULES IN THE PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION

1. The greater the number of points of similarities and dissimilarities of two

persons compared, the greater is the probability to be correct. This is

known as the “law of Multiplicity of Evidence” in identification

2. The value of different points of identification varies in the formulation of

conclusion

METHODS OF IDENTIFICATION

1. BY COMPARISON – identification criteria recovered during the

investigation are compared with records available in the file.

2. BY EXCLUSION – if two or more persons have identified and all but one

is yet identified; the one whose identity has not been established may be

known by the process of elimination

BASIS OF HUMAN IDENTIFICATION

1. THOSE WHOM USED TO PROVE IDENTITY – this requires no special

training or skills of the identity and no instrument or procedures is

demanded.

2. THOSE WHICH ARE BASED ON SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE –

identification is made by trained men, well-seasoned by experience and

observation, and primarily based on compression excursion.
