The UK studies the pedophile crime identification system by hand

British scientists believe that it is possible to identify pedophile crimes based on the characteristics of their hands and track their movements everywhere.

Professor Dame Sue Black of Lancaster University, has developed a forensic technique to help identify crime based on hand characteristics.

She has started this research program since 2006 and hopes to eventually automate the system. She began to build a database that found the probabilities of two hands with the same characteristics while working at Dundee University.

Black said: 'If we can automate, we will be able to use algorithms to screen millions of images on police databases worldwide. This particular type of crime often has a very high chance of bail and will flee soon after. So we are building a system to keep track of those who have escaped. "

Professor Black said the police are now carrying out all analysis with the naked eye.

She added: 'It is a comparison of similar characteristics to the same and different point game in kindergarten'.

'We will look for skin pigments. We will look for venous models, superficial skin layers. Also, the wrinkles of the skin and knuckles are also important '.

This technique has appeared in a BBC documentary, The Hands That Condvicted A Pedophile . This film recounts the process of applying this new technology to capture criminals in a spectacular way.

Jeremy Oketch, 38, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of raping a two-year-old girl. He filmed the action himself but wisely covered his face, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the movie was "unacceptable".

The scientists compared the image of Oketch with the pictures taken and concluded they matched 'all anatomical features'. The name of the pharmacist Oketch pleaded guilty, GMP said in a press release at the time.

The inspector and detective Colin Larkin, who investigated the rape, told the BBC: 'It was great. Everything goes far beyond my expectations. She (Professor Black) convincingly proved that he was guilty. '
