A small piece of metal is coated with a thin film of ink. Thereafter, a person’s finger and thumb tips are pressed against the inked surface. Then the fingerprints are passed on a white card. The prints are recorded in exact detail. Fingerprints are often very useful in solving the crimes. Fingerprints are picked up at the scene of a crime. There are compared with those of a suspect. Millions of fingerprints are kept on files by police departments. Fingerprinting is also used in finding missing persons and identifying unknown dead. It is also used to screen people who apply for certain jobs. It is thought that the Chinese used thumbprints to sign documenting a long time before Christ. The system used today was invented by Sir Francis Galton in the 1880’s. In 1901, Sir E. R. Henry found a simple way of grouping fingerprints. His system is used by many law-enforcement organizations.
