ABSTRACT
Palmar flexion crease identification has been on the periphery of forensic identification for years. However, a thorough search of the available literature found little information. No one within the forensic identification community has conducted a study of the suitability of the palmar flexion crease as an identification medium. In spite of this lack of research, palmar flexion creases have been assumed to be a viable personal identification medium by some. However, the lack of information has deterred most forensic identification specialists from using palmar flexion creases during the identification process.
