Fingerprinting is a scientific technique based on the fact that each person has a unique, identifying fingerprint. Fingerprint analysis has a variety of uses including criminal investigation, security access and genomic research. For example a fingerprint source could be taken from a crime scene where a thief has used a door. The door handle will hold a record of the theifs fingerprint and when analysed can be compared against a database to see if the criminal has comitted any previous crimes. This makes finding and arresting the suspect much easier.

Hope this helps
