Sinopsis

Signaletic Instructions: Including The Theory And Practice Of Anthropometrical Identification is a book written by Alphonse Bertillon in 1896. Bertillon was a French criminologist who is credited with developing the first scientific system of identification, which involved measuring various parts of the body to create a unique profile for each individual.The book provides a detailed explanation of Bertillon's anthropometric system, including the specific measurements that were taken and how they were used to identify criminals. It also includes instructions for law enforcement officials on how to properly use the system and interpret the data it provided.In addition to the practical aspects of the system, the book also delves into the theoretical underpinnings of anthropometry, discussing the relationship between physical characteristics and criminal behavior. Bertillon argues that by understanding the physical traits of criminals, law enforcement officials can better predict and prevent crime.Overall, Signaletic Instructions is an important historical document that sheds light on the early development of forensic science and the use of physical measurements in criminal identification.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
