Abstract

In addition of being highly utilized for identification and substantiation of suspects, latent prints (Finger & Palms) play a vital role and determination of sex is a crucial facet for intimate identification. Being unique by nature, perpetual and identifiable features of an individual, the possibility of identifying to the suspects from such latent prints confronted from scene of occurrence, even on documents is higher and conclusive. In the present study, 60 samples including (30 male & 30 female) aging from 18-55 years were taken from the population of Uttar Pradesh, North part of India. After the successful development of latent palm prints on documents, the ridge densities were taken from 25 mm diameter. As a denouement, the procured mean ridge densities, if ≤11 ridges/25 mm2or less then is likely to be from male origin, and ≥13 ridges/25 mm2 or more then that is likely to be from female origin. In our study, we found that higher ridges densities are found in females in comparison of males which indicate that on the basis of ridge density of latent palm prints; the differentiation of sex from the latent palm prints can be done successfully.
