Personal Identification: Methods for the Identification of Individuals, Living or Dead (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Unlock the science of recognizing people beyond looks. This nonfiction guide lays out how bodies carry unique, lasting identifiers and how investigators use them to confirm identity.
From Bertillon’s measurements to the famous fingerprint system, the book surveys established methods and introduces two practical, new approaches based on the friction ridges of palms and the soles of the feet. It blends theory with real-world applications, aiming to help families, insurers, banks, hospitals, and law enforcement understand the options for identifying living or deceased individuals—even when faces are altered or bodies damaged.
Designed for both professionals and curious readers, this edition explains how prints are made, described, and classified, and it discusses the future potential of identification techniques while presenting actual cases and illustrations to illuminate the methods in use.
- Clear explanations of various identification methods, from visual recognition to bodily measurements
- Practical, step-by-step guidance on taking and describing fingerprints and prints
- Introduction of palm and sole pattern techniques for immediate applicability
- Contextual discussion of historical and future directions in identification science
Ideal for readers interested in criminal identification, forensic science, or the history of how we verify who a person is.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often overlooked problem of personal identification. The author traces the historical development of identification methods, starting with the crude yet effective practices of primitive tribes who marked their bodies with tattoos and scars. This practice highlights the primal need to distinguish individuals within a community, particularly when confronted with hostile outsiders. However, the author emphasizes that our modern world, despite its advances, still grapples with the problem of accurately identifying individuals. The book goes on to explore a range of traditional methods ââ â sight recognition, birthmarks, scars, handwriting, even voice ââ â and dissects their limitations, demonstrating how they often fail to provide definitive proof of identity. Throughout, the author highlights the crucial need for a reliable and unchanging system of identification, particularly in situations such as legal disputes, insurance claims, or wartime casualties. This book offers a compelling examination of how the science of personal identification evolved and its enduring significance in navigating the complexities of human life.
