Abstract Footprints are one of the valuable physical evidence left by criminals in crime scene. Footprints are transferred to the crime scene depending on the “Locard’s Exchange” principle. It denotes that ‘every contact leaves a trace’. Footprints are similar to fingerprints in their uniqueness. They both have individual characteristics, so that no two people will have similar footprint patterns. In the previous studies, height, weight, and sex were estimated based on the footprint measurements. There are various measuring methods used to identify it. So, there are no studies related to the comparison of both footprints of human beings. The aim of this study is to compare both human footprints and determine Gender if there are any similarities between those. For this quantitative research, the samples will be collected from people in between the age group of 20 to 25 years. Because in that age group, a person will attain their maximum growth, once they attain their 25th age, the person will not have any maximum changes in their footprints. This is just a pilot study, so a total of 100 samples will be collected from the targeted people. The hypothesis of this study person will have maximum similarities between both footprints. So, we can easily identify the person by matching one footprint with the other footprints of the same person and identify gender. These comparison techniques can be further use to investigate the crime scene to identify the individual.
Keywords footprint, similarities, gender.
