It then provides a detailed description of the various physical measurements that should be taken, including height, head circumference, ear length, and finger length. Bertillon also provides instructions for taking photographs and recording other identifying features such as scars and tattoos.The book is highly technical in nature and is intended for use by law enforcement officials and other professionals involved in criminal identification.
