		As Vucetich rose through the ranks of the police, he became a bureaucrat fluent in the theoretical research issues at stake and focused on the activities and needs of his colleagues and collaborators in the capital city.
		Vucetich, who thought of Galton as the "father of fingerprinting" and considered himself but an improver and proselytizer of the system, had within a few months done what Galton could not—he created a universal classification scheme based on a manageable number of subdivisions of finger pad patterns.
		Vucetich's innovation was to subclassify loops, for example, identifying an "internal" inclination, or tracks leaning to the left with the outer ridge to the right of the observer, as well as the reverse, "external" inclining loops.

		Although Galton's work proved to be sound and became the foundation of modern fingerprint science and technology, his approach to classification was inadequate, and it was to be others who were to successfully apply his work.
		Juan Vucetich, an Argentinian police officer, research the science of fingerprints, corresponded with Galton, then devised his own system of fingerprint classification, which he called "icnofalagometrico".
		When confronted with this evidence, Rojas confessed to the murder of her children, and in July 1892 she was found guilty of their murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.

	A Brief History of Fingerprinting
		In 1891, Juan Vucetich, a policeman in Argentina, started collecting fingerprint files based on Galton's pattern types, along with each person's Bertillon measurements.
		The next year, during the investigation of the attempted murder of a woman and the successful killing of her two sons, a bloody print was found on a doorpost.
		Vucetich matched the print to the woman, who was later found guilty of murdering her sons and cutting her own throat to direct suspicion elsewhere.

		Igualmente se utiliza a los efectos de la subclasificación, unas claves de subtipos ideados por Vucetich, y sobre las cuales el doctor Luís Reyna Almandos, que fuera en vida director del Museo Vucetich, de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, hizo un estudio de gran valor científico.
		Los primeros trabajos realizados al respecto, en la República Argentina, datan de antes de 1915, y fueron efectuados por Juan Vucetich.

		Juan Vucetich is revered in my country, where many people believe that he discovered fingerprinting, a notion that some jingoistic Chief of Police must have introduced many years ago.
		Of course, Vucetich's special genius was to read about fingerprinting and develop a working system of his own, which apparently still contained some elements of 'bertillonage'.
		It was the first case of its kind in the world, in 1892, no less, and won worldwide fame for Vucetich.
