LOCARD'S EXCHANGE
PRINCIPLE
In Forensic science, Locard's exchange principle
holds that the perpetrator of a crime will bring
something into the crime scene and leave with
something from it, and that both can be used as
forensic evidence.

Dr. Edmond Locard (13 December 1877 – 4 May

1966) was a pioneer in forensic science who
became known as the Sherlock Holmes of France.
He formulated the basic principle of forensic
science as: "Every contact leaves a trace".

• "Wherever he steps, whatever he touches, whatever he leaves, even

unconsciously, will serve as a silent witness against him. Not only his
fingerprints or his footprints, but his hair, the fibers from his clothes, the
glass he breaks, the tool mark he leaves, the paint he scratches, the
blood or semen he deposits or collects.
• All of these and more, bear mute witness against him.
• This is evidence that does not forget.
• It is not confused by the excitement of the moment.
• It is not absent because human witnesses are.
• It is factual evidence.
• Physical evidence cannot be wrong, it cannot perjure itself, it cannot be
wholly absent.
• Only human failure to find it, study and understand it, can diminish its
value."
