The problem of poor quality of handprints of corpses is established. The relevance of the topic is related to the increase in legislation on the registration of palm prints in the CIS. The aim of the study is to identify and study indicators of poor quality of the palm prints of corpses and conduct a comparative analysis with similar indicators of poor quality in a living person. Indicators of poor quality of displaying the palms of the hands of corpses over two time periods were identified and conducted with similar indicators of poor quality in a living person. It has been established that the bulk of indicators of poor quality of handprints of corpses is associated with such indicators in terms of the greatest quantity and low quality as: incomplete rolling; wet handprints and prints with varying degrees of wrinkles, which are in second and third place. Comparative analysis showed that the indicator of incomplete rolling is the highest among the palm prints of the hands of a living person and a corpse. Recommendations for improving the quality of prints from the palms of corpses are proposed. The author’s definition of the concepts of a complex technique of “an improved version of the processing of the center of the palm of the corpse” and “a full-fledged imprint of the palm of the corpse” is formulated.
