Glove impressions or prints are a type of fabric print. Other sources of impressions are tool marks, tyre marks, and fabric impressions. Many studies have investigated personal identification and sex and stature estimation via footwear impressions. The most common and extensively studied types of impressions are those made by footwear. Impressions and marks are expected components of any crime scene. A regression equation was developed for stature prediction, and a discriminant equation was developed for sex prediction. Sex and stature were successfully estimated based on impressions derived from gloved flat hands and from prints on various grasped objects. Phalangeal and finger lengths were measured digitally via software. Impressions of gloved flat hands were also obtained. Male and female participants wore latex gloves, and after ink was applied to the gloves they grasped objects of different diameters (2, 4, 6 and 8 cm).
Specifically, whether they could be used to help to predict the sex and stature of a suspect was investigated, as was the potential for ascertaining additional information in cases where such prints were recovered from diverse objects with different diameters. The aim of the present study was to determine whether additional information could be obtained from glove prints. The forensic expert’s primary task in such cases is to compare the characteristic features of glove impressions with the characteristics of a suspect. There is nothing more disappointing for fingerprint experts than finding glove marks at a crime scene.
