  3. Fingerprints are an important form of evidence at crime scenes. The next 8 questions deal with fingerprints. • Investigators classify fingerprints according to how they are left at the scene of a crime. • For the next three questions, match the description of how the fingerprints are classified with the print name.

  4. 1) Which statement best describes a Patent fingerprint? • Fingerprints that can be seen with the naked eye. Fingers that have dirt, blood, ink or paint on them typically leave this form of print. • Fingerprints that are invisible to the naked eye. Investigators use dusting with powder, lasers or other strong light sources and heated super glue to expose these prints. • Fingerprints that leave an impression in soft objects like soap, clay, wax or wet cement. • The answer is • A. Fingerprints that can be seen with the naked eye.

  5. 2) Which statement best describes a plastic or impressed fingerprint? • Fingerprints that can be seen with the naked eye. Fingers that have dirt, blood, ink or paint on them typically leave this form of print. • Fingerprints that are invisible to the naked eye. Investigators use dusting with powder, lasers or other strong light sources and heated super glue to expose these prints. • Fingerprints that leave an impression in soft objects like soap, clay, wax or wet cement. • The answer is • C. Fingerprints that leave an impression in a substance.

  6. 3) Which statement best describes a latent fingerprint? • Fingerprints that can be seen with the naked eye. Fingers that have dirt, blood, ink or paint on them typically leave this form of print. • Fingerprints that are invisible to the naked eye. Investigators use dusting with powder, lasers or other strong light sources and heated super glue to expose these prints. • Fingerprints that leave an impression in soft objects like soap, clay, wax or wet cement. • The answer is • B. Fingerprints that are invisible to the naked eye.

  7. 4) Which of the following is not an accepted method of collecting fingerprints from a crime scene? • By dusting surfaces for latent prints. • By taking photographs of patent prints. • Spray painting surfaces to identify smudges or other irregularities left by fingers or palms. • By collecting soft objects with visible plastic prints. • The answer is • C. Spray painting surfaces to identify smudges or other irregularities left by fingers or palms.

  8. 5) Investigators collect fingerprints evidence from a list of sources at a crime scene. Which of the following would likely be excluded from that list? • Investigators collect fingerprint evidence from possible suspects. • Investigators collect fingerprint evidence from investigators at the crime scene. • Investigators collect fingerprint evidence from the crime scene itself. • Investigators collect fingerprint evidence from victims of the crime. • The answer is • B) Investigators collect fingerprint evidence from investigators at the crime scene.

  9. 6) Which of the following is not one of the finger -print classes used by criminal investigators? • Arches • Loops • Waves • Whorls • The correct answer is • C) Waves are not one of the three finger print classes

  10. 7) Which of the following is not an accepted principle of fingerprinting? • Fingerprints have general characteristic ridge patterns that allow them to be systematically identified. • A fingerprint is an individual characteristic (no two people have been found with the exact same fingerprint pattern). • Fingerprint patterns naturally change as you age. • The answer is • C) Fingerprint patterns naturally change as you age.
