Abstract: The study of palmistry does reveal criminal and violent tendencies and atavistic sign of degeneracy. The main objective of this research is that the knowledge of the palmistry can be applied in order to carry out criminal investigations. Handprints of punished criminals were comparatively analyzed with their life stories and crimes they had committed. For this research I have presented famous serial killer Ted Bundy and Ganster Alvin Karpis only. From the results I described here how the human desires and human mentality incline towards criminal tendencies and crimes they had committed. In conclusion I emphasize the fact that hand analysis can be used to certify a crime and identify the nature of crime.
Keywords: Chirognomy, Chiromancy, Dermatoglyphics, atavistic sign.
