Study Notes
Tripartite Fingerprint Classification System
- Unique for organizing fingerprints based on three patterns: loops, arches, and whorls.
- Addressed challenges in previous systems with a structured approach to classification.
- Incorporated Galton's system to enhance fingerprint identification and organization at Scotland Yard.
Galton's Fingerprint System
- Added to Bertillonage after the Troup Committee report in 1894.
- Considered rudimentary due to its lack of independent functionality and incapacity to handle large volumes of cases.
Influence of Galton’s Research
- Galton's research promoted acceptance of fingerprint classification systems.
- Introduced three general patterns compared to Henry Faulds' initial two-pattern system, laying the groundwork for more advanced classifications.
Argentinian Fingerprint Classification System (Juan Vucetich)
- Integrated four pattern types: left slant loops, right slant loops, arches, and whorls.
- Combined a four-letter code for thumbs and a four-number code for fingers to provide a systematic classification.
NCIC Classification System
- Developed by the FBI, featuring a 20-character code where each finger is identified using two letters or two numbers for loops.
Purkinje's Nine Pattern Classification
- Historically notable as the first comprehensive documentation of fingerprint patterns.
Syllabic System (Henry Faulds)
- Utilized a two-letter syllable system based on loops and whorls, incorporating 21 consonants and 6 vowels.
- Employed five syllables for each hand, separated by hyphens for clarity.
Significance of the Single Finger Index
- Allowed direct comparison between latent fingerprints and known single prints, enhancing identification accuracy.
Faulds’ Perspective on Learning the Syllabic System
- Believed the system would be intuitive due to natural associations between objects and sounds.
Scotland Yard's Rejection of Faulds
- Faulds’ attempt to establish a fingerprint bureau was declined in favor of maintaining the Bertillonage system.
Classification Structure
- Primary classification involved a numerator (series) derived from the right thumb and a denominator (section) from other fingers.
- Secondary classification utilized a five-number system for further categorization, including ridge counts.
Vucetich's Use of Ridge Counts
- Incorporated ridge counts in the secondary classification for normal loops, enhancing detail in fingerprint analysis.
Impact of Vucetich’s Campaign in 1891
- Successfully replaced Bertillonage with his fingerprint system in Argentina, marking a pivotal shift towards fingerprint identification.
Comparison of Argentinian and Tripartite Fingerprint Systems
- Both systems use general fingerprint patterns, yet Argentinian includes loop directionality and arches, employing a numerical ratio instead of a ten-letter code.
- Argentinian system improved upon the Tripartite influence, proving more functional and efficient over Bertillonage.
