Abstract

The current research presents that the fingerprinting method might be used for gender identification. The study involved 270 individuals allocated into two age groups, 12-24 years and 40-70 years old. Fingerprint relief of the research participants has been studied through the so-called pencil method. One of the factors that indicated a decline in participation in the survey was the damaged relief of the finger, signifying that not everyone had equal access to fingerprinting. Fingerprints were taken from the left and right thumbs of participants. White lines on the surface of the fingerprint were observed as an identification marker. The study revealed that the above-mentioned white lines were dominant in the fingerprints of female individuals with 71.17% of the total studied participants, while in males this indicator amounted to 29.81%. The obtained results of conducted research, allow us to assume the fingerprint white line ratio as an additional gender identification method.

Keywords
