Latent fingerprints are caused by the transfer of oils and other body secretions onto a surface.
true
false
Fingerprints are generally considered to be a form of class evidence.
true
false
It is necessary to obtain a full print from a suspect to compare his fingerprint with the fingerprint found at the scene.
true
false
Plastic prints must be dusted in order to see the ridge pattern detail?
true
false
Latent fingerprints, or surface fingerprints, are caused by the transfer of skin onto a surface.
true
false
It is important to always photograph a fingerprint before you attempt to lift it.
true
false
Patent fingerprints, or visible fingerprints, are left on a smooth surface when blood, ink, or some other liquid meets the hands and is then transferred to that surface.
true
false
IAFIS stands for
International Augmented Fingerprint Identification System
Integrated Automatic Fingerprint Identification System
Integrated Augmented Fingerprint Identification System
Internal Automated Fingerprint Identification System
The presence of two deltas in a fingerprint indicate
scar tissue
loop
whorl
arch
The use of fingerprint identification is not perfect because:
The current technology depends on humans to analyze the information, and humans make mistakes.
People can easily change their fingerprints.
Many people have the exact same fingerprint.
None of these choices are correct.
All the above are correct.
All the following methods are used to develop fingerprints, except:
ninhydrin
iodine
carbon powder
hydrochloric acid
Prints are formed in which layer of the skin?
epidermis layer
dermis layer
basal layer
subcutaneous tissue
The number of ridges between the core and the center of the delta is called the
loop pattern
print age
ridge count
minutiae pattern
Which type of loop open towards the little finger?
ulnar
radial
either are correct
neither are correct
Fingerprint whorl patterns may be (select all that apply):
radial loop
central pocket loop whorl
double loop whorl
flat arch
tented arch
While looking at the basic fingerprint patterns can quickly help eliminate a suspect, to positively match a print found at a crime scene to an individual, more is needed. Every individual, including identical twins, has a unique fingerprint due to unique ridge patterns called:
small details
ridge details
minutiae
ridge minutiae
The print seen is a
double loop whorl
arch
central pocket loop whorl
plain whorl
ulnar loop
The print seen is a
plain arch
radial loop
delta whorl
tented arch
high arch
How many deltas are in the print?
0
1
2
3
4
The print is a
double loop whorl
plain whorl
accidental whorl
central pocket loop whorl
not a whorl print
