Criminal Studies in Palmistry
T Stokes
The British legal system are accepting the advice of graphologists in an
increasing amount of court cases, but police forces have differing views on
criminal signs in the hand, which can vary across the spectrum.
The Avon and Somerset force is the only one set up for recording palm
prints, but only a skilled palmist can interpret the data.
The attached palm-print was supplied with a particular request for
information, but particularly in reference to 3 things;
(1) Can palmists tell what type of crimes this person would commit ?
(2) Anything about this persons background to crime ?
(3) Prognosis with regard to future criminal activity.
In the past any assistance rendered by myself has only been used where it
coincides with the line the police wish to pursue, if it differs, it is
ignored, and sometimes ridiculed.
The first thing to notice in this handprint is the body typology.
Prof. William Sheldon aligned psychological postures to body types,
and this type is an "Ectomorph Cerebrotonic".
They are characterized by being creative thinkers, and intellectual
introverts, of slight physique, often drooping shoulders, long limbs, and
very importantly, long fingers.
In Dickensian London, before the days of Psychological Behavioural
Anthrometry, the likes of Fagin would find young boys of this body type with their long
fingers to train as pickpockets.
They would spend many an hour pulling their index finger to the length of
the second finger ( see graph ) this is because to thrust a hand into a
pocket would cause the fabric to stretch warning the wearer, but to put in
two fingers as in a scissors action, would not cause alarm, so to answer the
main crimes question, the fingers suggest this person would be a pickpocket.
The genesis of this person's criminal history, are in the emotional abuse
sector, from a mixture of technical aspects in the linear formations, palmists can
see the early fragmentation of the heart line showing poor emotional
response and low self worth. The thin basal phalanges tell a palmist of emotional dysfunction and
anorexic behaviour and general malnourishment.
The sudden drop of the headline has been consistently shown by
psycho-chirologist's since Carl Jung, Julius Spier, and Charlotte Wolf to be
tell tale sign in depressive illness.
This coupled to the anorexia, paint a chronic picture of low self esteem and
a life out of control, from a difficult early life.
Much more could be said but the drift into crime would be at an early age
possibly in the latency period at age 8, through a problematic home life,
and this criminal behaviour would have been encouraged by elders, climaxing
from internal linear marker signals at ages 25 and around 35.
Question 3.This person has a long record of criminal activity, from intra
palmer signals I would guess at a long family history of alcohol abuse.
With the right help counselling and support mechanisms I believe we could
integrate our friend back into society.
It was possible in the early days of this century to tell from a handprint,
the country of origin, just as the face can give inherited signals of the
racial heritage, but today when races are so mixed this hand print was
difficult, but the fingerprint mix is consistant with an eastern European
inhabitant, and police agreed that many of London's pickpocket community are
Romanian gypsies.
Some years ago I would have to write reports and psychological assessments
for the courts, and similar patterns of repeat offending were typical with
this print, but here long term prognosis is optimistic.
