HANDPRINTS
Just like
fingerprints, handprints
have their own unique
ridges. The ridges
continue down to the palm
and can be also used for
identification.
FOOTPRINTS
Shoeprints can be lifted or
developed in order to compare worn
edges or differences in the bottom
of the shoe. The way a person walks
causes the shoe to be worn in a
certain pattern and there will be
breaks or small cracks. Feet also
have unique prints like finger that
can be used to identify with a
suspect print. When dealing with
shoeprints of footprints, there is a
larger surface so the
characteristics are spread out and
harder to mistake so fewer points of
comparison are needed for a positive
identification than fingerprints.
