چکیده

The purpose of this study was to follow Acree’s 1999 theory and demonstrate that there are significant differences in the loop ridge count of male subjects compared to that of female subjects. This was based on the belief that women tend to have finer ridge detail, therefore more ridges, while men have coarse ridge detail, thereby fewer ridges [1]. This study, in contrast to Acree’s methodology of comparing ridge densities, compared fingerprint loop ridge counts from forty male and forty female subjects utilizing the FBI 1984 standards of ridge counting. ANOVA analysis revealed no significant mean difference in the loop ridge counts across gender represented by these eighty subjects, F (1, 78) =.308, p>.05, MSE= 7.946. There is no difference in the number of loop ridge counts that males have (13.18, SD = 2.735) then did females (13.53, SD = 2.900). It was concluded there are no significant differences in loop ridge counts between genders.
