Fingerprint 10 card

arch

• a fingerprint pattern in which the ridge pattern originates from one side of the print and continues to the other side

  
  

• uses measurements and statistical analyses of someone's physical characteristics to aid in their identification

•  an impression left on any surface that consists of patterns made

• FBI-developed national database of more than 76 million criminal fingerprints and criminal histories

 biometrics 

•  an impression left on any surface that consists of patterns made by the ridges on a finger

• a center of a loop

• uses measurements and statistical analyses of someone's physical characteristics to aid in their identification

  
  

• 
  

   fingerprint a concealed fingerprint that is made visible through the use of powders or forensic techniques

  
  

core 

•  a fingerprint pattern in which the ridge pattern flows inward and returns in the direction of the origin

• a center of a loop

•  a triangular ridge pattern created when ridge patterns diverge

  
  

• a fingerprint pattern in which the ridge pattern originates from one side of the print and continues to the other side

  
  

delta

• FBI-developed national database of more than 76 million criminal fingerprints and criminal histories

  
  

• 
  

   a three-dimensional fingerprint made in soft material such as clay, soap, or putty

• 
  

   a form used to record and preserve a person's fingerprints

• 
  

   a triangular ridge pattern created when ridge patterns diverge

fingerprint

• an impression left on any surface that consists of patterns made by the ridges on a finger

• a center of a loop

  
  

•  the combination of details in the shapes and positions of ridges in fingerprints that makes each unique; also called ridge characteristics

  
  

•  (plain whorl) a fingerprint pattern that resembles a bulls-eye

Integrated Automated Fingerprint

•  a fingerprint pattern in which the ridge pattern flows inward and returns in the direction of the origin

• Identification System (IAFIS) 

  FBI-developed national database of more than 76 million criminal fingerprints and criminal histories

•  the combination of details in the shapes and positions of ridges in fingerprints that makes each unique; also called ridge characteristics

• the number of ridges between the center of a delta and the core of a loop

  
  

latent

• the number of ridges between the center of a delta and the core of a loop

•  a three-dimensional fingerprint made in soft material such as clay, soap, or putty

  
  

• fingerprint a concealed fingerprint that is made visible through the use of powders or forensic techniques

• a triangular ridge pattern created when ridge patterns diverge

loop

• the number of ridges between the center of a delta and the core of a loop

•  a fingerprint pattern in which the ridge pattern flows inward and returns in the direction of the origin

•  the recognizable pattern of the ridges found in the end pads of fingers that form lines on the surfaces of objects in a fingerprint.

  They fall into three categories: arches, loops, and whorls. They are also visible on the soles of feet and bottoms of toes

  
  

•  (plain whorl) a fingerprint pattern that resembles a bulls-eye

  
  

 minutiae

•  the combination of details in the shapes and positions of ridges in fingerprints that makes each unique; also called ridge characteristics

  
  

• 
  

   a form used to record and preserve a person's fingerprints

  
  

• the number of ridges between the center of a delta and the core of a loop

  
  

• a center of a loop

  
  

patent fingerprint

•  a form used to record and preserve a person's fingerprints

• the number of ridges between the center of a delta and the core of a loop

•  a visible fingerprint produced when fingers coated with blood, ink, or some other substance touch a surface and transfer their print to that surface

•  a three-dimensional fingerprint made in soft material such as clay, soap, or putty
