Crime and Criminology

Crime and Criminology in fingerprinting focuses on the role of fingerprints in establishing identity, linking suspects to crime scenes, and understanding the legal and investigative frameworks that govern their use. Mastering these concepts is essential for exam questions on forensic evidence, admissibility, and the interplay between scientific methods and criminal law.
