Personal identification is the primary aim of anyforensic investigations. Foot impressions, either 2D or 3D are used for person identification. Foot impression found on soft surfaces is three dimension in nature (3D), also namedfoot outline which shows the boundaries of the foot left by the offenders on soft surfaces. It is a fact that 3D impressions can also be used to determine stature, body weight and gender. In the developing countries, people are still walking barefooted. Earlier foot impression studies were conducted on mixed population and currently researchers are insisting the importance of ethnicity consideration.Malaysian Indians are an important ethnic group living in Malaysia, with minor sub-ethnicgroups such as Malayali, Telugu, Sikh, Tamil, and others. Hence this study intends to examine the relationship between stature and 3D foot lengths among Malaysian Telugus, mostly living in peninsular Malaysia. The stature and foot outlines (3D) were collected from consented Telugu 140 subjects, comprising 73 males and 67 females, age ranging from 18 to 60 years old. The data obtained were analysed statistically using SPSS software version 21.0. There exists a strong positive correlation between stature and 3D foot impression lengths and the correlation coefficient (R) values are found to be higher in unknown gender/pooled samplefollowed by males and females. This study developed regression formulae to determine stature from foot outline (3D) lengths among Malaysian Telugus for crime scene investigation. The equations are population specific and should not be used for any other populations.

“…During crime operations, some criminals tend to avoid wearing footwear to preventnoise that produces while walking and for better grip while climbing walls 5 . These crime scene footprints aid in the investigation for determination of stature [6][7][8] , and body weight [9][10] . Unlike fingerprint, footprint provides more information such as gender 4,7 , age 4 , number of individuals 3,4,7 , walking speed 1,4 , carrying load 1 and direction of movement 1 .…”

Footprint is a physical evidence, often found at the crime scenes. Due to its ability to provide more information than fingerprint, it has been considered as a valuable clue. Sometimes, partial footprints or toe prints are found in crime scenes. Hence the present study used toe prints among Kagay-Anons of Philippines population for gender determination. A total of 4000 toe prints were collected and analyzed by "Acree method", using 5mm x 5mm square area transparent film. The number of ridges within the square was calculated as ridge density. The finding has shown that females havecomparatively higher ridge density than malesin all five toes. The present study shows that partial foot print found at the crime scene can be still collected and analyzed for identification.

Background and aim: Impression evidence found in crime scenes are used for identification. Like finger impression, foot and toe impressions are currently considered as valuable clue used for gender identity. This study investigates the relationship between gender and toe print ridge density in the Bidayuh population in Malaysian Borneo so that the findings may be applied in real crime scenes.Materials and method: The sample collection was conducted at Sarawak state, Malaysian Borneo and recruited consented 100 males and 100 females of Bidayuh population, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The toe impressions were collected by inking technique, following the standard procedure and five areas in five left toes and five right toes (great toe, second toe, third toe, fourth toe and little toe) were designated for analysis from each foot of the participant. The samples were analysed and calculated the toe impression ridge density using a standard magnifier. The findings were presented in the form of tables and graphs.Results: The result shows that the ridge density of females was found to be comparatively higher than males in all five toes on both sides. The ridge density on the left toes is not the mirror image of the right toes in both genders. Thus suitable densities show bilateral asymmetry. The statistical analysis shows that maximum sex differences observed in the third toe on the right (t value 7.77) and left (t value 9.473) side of this study population.Conclusion: The study concluded that ridge density in toe impression on the Bidayuh population provided helpful information on gender determination. Even the presence of a single toe impression is sufficient for crime scene application.
