Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This depends on who you mean by they. If by they you mean the criminals, then yes. This is because the criminals will most likely not use gloves and touch everything when performing the crime. This will allow law enforcement to clearly and quickly identify the individuals responsible and arrest them.

If by they you mean law enforcement then No. Fingerprinting is a crucial piece of crime scene investigation. It allows law enforcement to identify a specific individual that was at the scene of the crime. Since every single fingerprint is unique it is a vital piece of evidence in an investigation. Without it the officers would need lots more evidence and luck in order to prove that a specific individual was responsible for the crime.
