CRIMINAL ARCHIVE AND THE VUCETICH CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM DIGITAL PRINTING REPRESENTATION AND IDENTIFICATION

Abstract

This article hangs some aspects of the classification theory, prioritizing the Vucetich classification system, which bases the classification process of the fingerprint record whose function is to gather, store and make available information about fingerprint traces collected at the crime scene or identification, or to the act of recognition of an individual. Initially, we sought to discuss the philosophical principles of classification and then to analyze the use and application adopted by the Juan Vucetich system, a dytoscopic method that is based on the representation of the disposition of the dermal papillae and the elements that make up this classification system, whose application and sorting allows a quick query comparing the standard part filed in the context of criminal files with a fragment extracted from crime scene.
