This book is a completion of the book: "Origin and Evolution of Personality Verification Systems" published by the University in 2007. The book addresses the study of fingerprints of papillary lines and defines fingerprint as the traces of those salient lines (Ridges) parallel to the deep and low lines (Furrows) that leave traces on any object they touch, whether smooth or rough surfaces. Therefore, fingerprints are the prints left by fingertips, palms, and toes upon contacting polished surfaces or paper documents.
Fingerprints are of three patterns:
. Whorls: consists of overlapping circles or whorls and exist on one finger or more.
. Arches: consists of a group of overlapping arches.
. Loops: consists of open loops following each other.
Fingerprints are distributed on four groups of lines and curves that define their identity and shape, namely :
. Regular arches group which forms (5%).
. Loops group which forms (20%).
. Whorls group which forms (70%).
. Compound fingerprints group carrying more than one of the previous forms and forms (5%).
The book comprises an introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion.
The first chapter discusses the following topics:
. The beginning of the formation of papillary lines.
. Fingerprints science.
. Various forms of the characteristics of papillary lines.
. Basics of fingerprints science.
. Types of fingerprints.
The second chapter views the following topics:
. Classification and preservation methods, including:
-The definition of classification.
-Classification cards models.
. Decimal cards sorting and saving system.
. Individual fingerprint at the accident scene, including:
-Individual fingerprint system.
-Classification of individual fingerprint in whorls.
-Individual classification of compound, abnormal and cracked forms.
The conclusion of the book illustrates various types of confession.
