Herschel's technique was improved upon by the scientist Sir Francis Galton in his book 'Fingerprints', in 1892. Also in 1892, Juan Vucetich, an officer in the Argentine Police Force is credited with making the first criminal fingerprint identification, after studying Galton's Book. He successfully proved that a bloody fingerprint found at a murder scene could only belong to one Francisca Rojas. (May need to confirm answer.)
Maybe. But I like cake!
Crime scene investigators use techniques like powder dusting, cyanoacrylate fuming, or ninhydrin spraying to develop latent fingerprints at a crime scene. They then lift the developed prints using adhesive tape or specialized fingerprint lifting tools for analysis and comparison.
One advantage of using a fingerprint door lock is that there is no point of keeping a key that can be unintentionally left at anywhere. Moreover, fingerprint is very specific for each person, therefore using a fingerprint door lock will increase the safety for the house.
Interviewing/interrogating suspects, gathering potential evidence from the scene of the crime. obtaining fingerprint evidence, using staining techniques to ascertain if blood has been cleaned up from the scene, using tracking/sniffing dogs (if necessary, using DNA evidence (if needed), and many more.
To get fingerprints from porous surfaces, you can lightly dust the surface with fingerprint powder using a brush. The powder will adhere to the oils in the fingerprint ridges, making them visible. Then, carefully lift the fingerprint using fingerprint tape or an adhesive lifter for further analysis or comparison.
A fingerprint reader works by using an imaging sensor to capture a fingerprint digitally. It is then compared to an existing image to determine if access is granted.
Approximately 35-40% of crimes are solved using DNA evidence. DNA technology has significantly improved the accuracy and success rate of solving crimes, especially in cases where biological evidence is left at a crime scene.
In case your fingerprint scanner breaks or malfunctions

Reducing equivalent fractions to their simplest form.
CSI technicians use specialized powder or chemicals to dust for fingerprints on surfaces. Once fingerprints are revealed, they are lifted using tape or a special tool and transferred onto a fingerprint card for analysis and comparison against a database.
