11. What is Bertillonage? Should it be used today? Why or why not?

Thesis: A Bertillonage is formerly used system to identify persons by means of a detailed record of body measurements, physical description, and photographs that helped criminal investigations and identify suspects. It should continue to be used to because it can prove to be very useful.

Evidence: The system measurements were close enough to identify who the person. It can help identify whether the measurements match the suspect, etc. when our technology now fails to do so due to certain circumstances; similar to mugshots which are still used today. 

So-What: This can prove to help us to in times of need as a backup solution to help connect suspects and also a serve as a stronger foundation for proof. It's also important to preserve such methods to see the influence it has made upon us.
