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.
