The fact that every living person has a unique pattern of ridges and depressions on the tips of their
fingers is one of the principles of forensic science. It offers not only the possibility of positively
identifying and individual victim or criminal, but also of providing the presence of a suspect at the
scene of a crime.
The principle was _____1_____ three thousand years ago in ancient China, where it was common
for legal contracts to be _____2_____ by the fingerprints of the parties involved. The custom was
also adopted by the Japanese. In the nineteenth century, an Englishman named William
Herschel _____3_____ in the Indian Civil Service introduced a similar practice; _____4_____ were
“signed” by the print of the attorney’s right hand, which had been _____5_____ by being pressed
on the ink pad normally used for rubber stamps.
Faulds published his conclusions in a _____12_____ paper in 1880, and even volunteered to fund a
fingerprint _____13_____ at Scotland Yard, London’s police headquarters, hoping that
a _____14_____ method for identifying criminals could be developed. At the time, the “vital
measurement” _____15_____ of Bertillon still seemed to point the way forward, and Faulds’ offer
was declined. What Scotland Yard needed was an accurate and _____16_____ method of
classifying prints, as _____17_____ as practical illustration that fingerprint evidence could prove
and individual’s identity with greater certainty than Bertillon’s methods _____18_____ .
Thanks to the work of Sir Francis Galton in England, Eduard Henry in India and Juan Vucetich in
Argentina, it became possible to _____19_____ and describe prints in such a way that matches
could be reliably confirmed or rejected. The _____20_____ of fingerprint evidence over Bertillon’s
“ _____21_____ measurement” records was confirmed, In the United States _____22_____ least,
by the case of a prisoner named Will West who arrived at Fort Leavenworth Prison, Kansas to
serve his sentence. The prison records showed there was already another prisoner in the
penitentiary named William West, totally unconnected with the first Will West. The two men
looked alike and their records, according to the Bertillon system, were identical. The only way they
could be reliably distinguished was by their fingerprints.

It has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword, and when it comes to criminal
enterprises, this statement often applies. Think about the embezzler who alters a company’s
books so that he can get away with a large sum of money. Or an altered check, lottery ticket, or
will. A critical analysis of any of these documents can be key to solving a crime.
The examiner uses all of his _____9___ , experience, and several microscopic, photographic, and
chemical analysis methods to _____10___ these tasks
No two people write alike. Similarities may _____11___ , but in close inspection, writing varies
from person to person to notable ways. An individual writing style is personal and unique and
results from unconscious _____12___ action. You don´t think about how you write, but
about what you´re writing.
Likewise, you never write the same _____13___ twice. Don´t believe me? Sign your name ten
times and compare the results. Each _____14___ is a little different, isn´t it? Now repeat the
experiment while holding the paper _____15___ a wall or while using different types of writing
instruments. You find even greater difference between these and the original signatures.
Your _____16___ and your signatures not only are different each time, but there are also affected
by your position and by whether you use a pen, pencil, or crayon. Your handwriting on a
tax _____17___ doesn´t look the same as it does on a bathroom wall, for instance.
This innate variability that everyone has is the _____18___ of document examiners. If they’re to
compare two samples of handwriting they must consider this _____19___ variability.
When examining handwriting, the forensic document expert is concerned only with the physical
characteristics of the writing and not with determining the writer’s personality type. The latter is
the job of a graphologist, and graphology is not an accepted forensic science.
