the validity of forensic fingerprint evidence has been challenged by academics, judges and the media. in the united states fingerprint examiners have not developed uniform standards for the identification of an individual based on matching fingerprints. in some countries where fingerprints are also used in criminal investigations, fingerprint examiners are required to match a number of "identification points" before a match is accepted. in england 16 identification points are required and in france 12, to match two fingerprints and identify an individual. point-counting methods have been challenged by some fingerprint examiners because they focus solely on the location of particular characteristics in fingerprints that are to be matched. fingerprint examiners may also uphold the "one dissimilarity doctrine", which holds that if there is one dissimilarity between two fingerprints, the fingerprints are not from the same finger. furthermore academics have argued that the error rate in matching fingerprints has not been adequately studied. and it has been argued that fingerprint evidence has no secure statistical foundation. research has been conducted into whether experts can objectively focus on feature information in fingerprints without being misled by extraneous information, such as context.
