Dermatoglyphics in individuals with asocial behaviour.
The patterns of fingertip prints (dermatoglyphics) in Swedish series of sexual offenders of law compared with common offenders of law and normal individuals were analysed. The dermatoglyphic patterns in common offenders of law did not differ from those in normal individuals. The group of sexual offenders of law showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) in the dermatoglyphic patterns compared to the samples of common criminals and normals.
