One of the first crime laboratories was established in 1910 in Lyon, France, by Edmond Locard, a physician. Locard helped work out scientific methods to investigate crimes. Alphonse Bertillon, a French statistician, developed a method of identifying persons according to their body measurements. This method, called the Bertillon system, was first used in Paris in 1879 and soon spread throughout the world. See Bertillon system.
Sir William J. Herschel, a British colonial administrator in India during the late 1800's, was probably the first person to devise a workable method of fingerprint identification. Historians credit Sir Francis Galton, a British scientist, with developing Herschel's methods into a modern system of fingerprint identification in the 1880's. By the late 1910's, fingerprinting had replaced the Bertillon system almost entirely as a more accurate method of identification. In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) established a fingerprint file in 1930.
Hans Gross, an Austrian judge, probably invented the word criminalistics. In his book Criminal Investigation(1893), Gross declared that criminalistics was a science that should use a systematic approach to investigate crimes and analyze evidence.
The first U.S. crime laboratory was set up in Los Angeles in 1923. Today, the nation has about 250 crime laboratories. The FBI crime laboratory, organized in 1932, is one of the finest in the world (see Federal Bureau of Investigation). FBI experts examine about 900,000 pieces of evidence yearly. Some crime laboratories examine only one type of evidence. For example, the U.S. Postal Inspector's Department Laboratory examines documents associated with such crimes as mail theft and forgery of money order
