What is fingerprint examination?

Dactyloscopic examination is the most common type of forensic examination, which solves the issue of identifying handprints and identifying the people who left them.

The main task of dactyloscopic examination is the identification of a person by the traces of his hands, which were left at the scene of the incident. Also, the examination of handprints solves a number of non-identification tasks related to the determination of the mechanism of trace formation, the features of the structure of the hand that left the trace, and some other characteristics of the trace-forming object.
