Māris Taube

Last week, Rīga Stradiņš University (RSU) management congratulated Prof. Māris Taube from the Department of Psychiatry and Narcology (pictured), who has worked at RSU for 20 years, on his jubilee. This provided a good reason to ask him to answer a few questions about his work and free time.

First theoretical and practical study in Latvia on fingerprints on the skin of deceased persons

Evidence is needed to solve a crime and to bring the perpetrator to justice. One of the most common pieces of evidence at a crime scene are fingerprints, or traces of papillary patterns, which can be found, for example, on a weapon, a banknote, a cartridge, a cloth, etc.

One of the most difficult surfaces on which latent, or invisible papillary traces can be left is human skin, as skin leaves traces on skin.
