英语词汇bertillon system的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Bertillon system. The first modern scientific method for identifying criminals was the Bertillon system, devised by Al- phonse Bertillon (1853–1914), French anthropologist and pio- neer criminologist. Bertillon developed Bertillonage, as the sys- tem is also called, when he headed the criminal identification bureau in the Seine prefecture and described it in his book La Photographie judiciare. Adopted by France in 1888, the revolu- tionary method relied on anthropometry—the classification of skeletal and other body measurements, plus the color of hair, eyes, etc., for purposes of comparison. Fingerprints were a late addition to these Bertillon measurements and soon supplanted the system itself. The term is still used, though, to describe fin- gerprints and all anthropometric measurements.
