Abstract

  Shoeprints are one of the important trace evidences that are often overlooked at the crime scene. They may provide investigative leads in identification of the accused. This study aims to determine the relationship between shoeprint length and stature amongst Central Indian population. A total of 500 subjects comprising 250 males and 250 females, aged between 18 to 50 years, natives of Madhya Pradesh, a Central Indian state were selected for this study. The height and length of their shoeprints were recorded and a regression equation was devised along with multiplication factors. We found that as the length of the shoeprint increased there was an increase in the height of the individual representing a positive correlation between the two variables (r = +0.757 for males and r = + 0.887 for females).

Keywords: Stature; Shoeprint Length; Central India.
