خلاصة:
It has been an ongoing attempt as well as a worry for law enforcement agencies to assure proper application of crime detection methods on the way to collect scientific proofs to charge a suspect with a crime. This paper is an applied and descriptive library work to answer if the significant changes in crime detection technologies have succeeded in attenuating the application of finger printing in crime investigation. The findings suggest that although finger printing has its own deficiencies and weaknesses, it still preserves some advantages that enabled this method to remain one of the major tools in crime detection

The Application of Fingerprinting in Criminal Investigation Dr. Hasanalie Moazenzadegan 1, Najaf Hamidzadeh Arbabi 2 Date of Receipt: 2013/9/24 Date of Acceptance: 2013/12/15 From page 98 to 115 Abstract 1 One of the concerns of the criminal justice system and the police organization is the correct utilization of criminal investigation methods for the collection, analysis, and decomposition of scientific evidence in order to definitively attribute or definitively remove the attribution of crimes to suspects and defendants, for the purpose of discovering the truth, proving crimes, and ultimately establishing criminal justice.
Although regarding fingerprinting and its various techniques since the time of Sir Francis Galton, many investigations and researches have been conducted in the world from the 18th century to the present; however, currently, with the emergence and completion of the cycle of scientific evidence and the creation of great transformations in the field of criminal investigation sciences and technologies, the question is whether fingerprinting still has an important application in crime discovery or not?
Simultaneously with Herschel, another person named Henry Faulds in Japan succeeded in discovering the two principles of permanence (unchanging shape) and non-matching or uniqueness; of course, Sir William Herschel's investigations were mostly in the field of identity identification and the examination of fingerprints taken from individuals, which is known today as forensic fingerprinting, while Dr. Henry Faulds' investigations were more focused on crime discovery and identifying criminals through fingerprint traces left at the crime scene, which is known today as criminal fingerprinting.
