What does the term 'tenprint' refer to in forensic investigation?

  1. A print from a single finger

  2. All ten fingers' prints collected together

  3. A composite image of various prints

  4. The total count of fingerprints analyzed

The correct answer is: All ten fingers' prints collected together

The term 'tenprint' specifically refers to the collection of fingerprints from all ten fingers. This practice is fundamental in forensic investigations, particularly in identifying individuals, as it provides a comprehensive reference for comparing and matching prints found at crime scenes. When law enforcement or forensic experts collect tenprints, they ensure that each finger is adequately documented, allowing for accurate identification against databases and other records. Having all ten fingers' prints allows for a more thorough analysis, as each person’s fingerprint patterns are unique, and providing a complete set enhances the chances of correctly matching prints that may appear in investigations.
