Daktiloskopijos galimybės ir plėtros ribos ; The Possibilities of Dactyloscopy and It's Development Boundaries
Having in mind that the dactyloscopy research in Lithuania and in the whole world takes a huge part of experimental and pretrial investigation, inter alia, with the growth and change of technology in our world, the way crimes are being committed changes as well. That is why in this Master thesis the possibilities of dactyloscopy and its expansion boundaries was analyzed. First of all, the development of dactyloscopy was examined in both national and supranational levels during the different periods of our history. Furthermore, the main attributes of friction ridges are revealed, which help to determine fast and certain identification of persons. Because of many odd fingerprints the attention later on is focused on the thing that the strict classification of these attributes is impossible. Moreover, the innovation and adoption of new technology analysis takes the biggest part of the thesis: new material (reagents), technique, methods and methodology. Novation in separate stages reviewed (from the place of incident to the court room) and conclusion follows, that not necessarily everything that is new is used. Finally, the main systems of automated dactyloscopy data of persons is introduced: their problematic aspects and possibilities in Lithuania as well as in the whole European Union. Also, the speculation about the future perspectives of these systems is given.
