Abstract

Footprint is a physical evidence, often found at the crime scenes. Due to its ability to provide moreinformation than fingerprint, it has been considered as a valuable clue. Sometimes, partial footprints or toeprints are found in crime scenes. Hence the present study used toe prints among Kagay-Anons of Philippinespopulation for gender determination. A total of 4000 toe prints were collected and analyzed by “Acreemethod”, using 5mm x 5mm square area transparent film. The number of ridges within the square wascalculated as ridge density. The finding has shown that females havecomparatively higher ridge density thanmalesin all five toes. The present study shows that partial foot print found at the crime scene can be stillcollected and analyzed for identification

Abstract

Hand morphology and fingerprint patterns form a valuable tool for person identification. Sex identificationis a vital role in forensic and medico legal investigations. Determination of sex or gender of an individual isimportant because it can help in the forensic investigators to identify the suspect if male or female based onthe ridge density of handprint or palm print. The present study used fingerprints collected fromKagay-anonpopulation for determination of gender through ridge density. A total of 4000fingerprints (200 males and200 females) were collected and analyzed using the “Acree” method of ridge density counting within 5mmx 5mm square area calculated the ridge density. The mean ridge density iscomparatively higher in females(12.39-14.14) than males (11.06-11.87) in the fingerprints of the study population. The results are presentedin the form of tables and graphs.
