Alphonse Bertillon (1853-1914) was a French criminologist and police officer who is best known for developing the system of criminal identification known as "Bertillonage." Bertillonage was based on the measurement of specific parts of the body, such as the head, hands, and ears. It was eventually replaced by other forms of identification, such as fingerprinting, which were considered to be more accurate and reliable.
