ridges are persistent after death, allowing for ID during decomposition - what is not one of the four
premises of friction ridge identification?
(1) ridges develop on the foetus, prior to birth
(2) ridge paths are unique and never repeated
(3) ridge patterns vary within limits, which allow for classification - four premises of friction ridge
identification
