Definition
The study and analysis of fingerprints and their patterns, especially for identification purposes in forensics.
Etymology
From Greek daktylos (finger) + graphia (writing/recording). Emerged in the late 19th century when scientists discovered that fingerprints were unique to each person and could be used to identify criminals.
Kelly Says
Before fingerprinting became standard police practice, thousands of criminals could easily claim false identities—dactyliography literally changed forensic science and made it nearly impossible for repeat offenders to hide their past.
