- Description
- To determine the sex of an individual plays an important role among forensic pathologists and scientists particularly when the fingerprints recovered from the crime scene does not match any of the criminal record so in that case fingerprint ridge density plays an important role in determining the sex of an individual. The present study was done among the 100 medical students of NIMS Medical college (50 males and 50 females) shobha nagar, Jaipur. Finger ridge density was counted on the radial border of each print. Result of the study shows that females have higher number of finger ridge density count as compared to males. Application of Bayes theorem suggests that finger print ridge density count <14ridges/25mm2 is more likely to be male while finger print ridge density count >14ridges/25mm2 is more likely to be female. 2016, World Informations Syndicate.
