can be in one or more of many
specific fields of study or branch of specialized knowledge such as science, technology, medicine,
or other area of knowledge
used to assist courts to resolve
disputes, whether criminal, civil,
or administrative.
It is the scientific investigation
into matters pertaining to law in the course of a crime. The practice of matching people to people, or people to places, during the
investigation of a crime.
Forensic science
29
in forensic science is simply answering the question " what is it"

30
is the uniqueness of an object to the execution of all other objects like itself. "what kind of salt is it?"
Individualization

These are objects
that are commonly encountered in investigations or the possible real object that created the evidence.
e.g. If a tire tread is found at a
Scene, it becomes evidence. If
a suspected car is uncovered in
the investigation, the tires on the car can serve as exemplars, and each produced will be tested and measured to see if it could have produced the tire tread from the Scene.

72
When the dermal papillae are damaged by an
external force, chemicals, disease, the patterns of the
ridges will no longer reappear. Thus, it will change the
appearance of the ridges.
A penetration of a depth more,
than one millimeter (1 mm +) causes a permanent
damaged of the ridges due to the destruction of dermal
papillae (Tubid, 1996: 27).
