Abstract: Trace evidence identification belongs to judicial activity, and its conclusions, especially the identifying conclusions, have great value in judicial proceedings. Sometimes the conclusions are the major or the only evidence to determine the fact of a case. But in practice, two phenomena exist. One is that individual identifying conclusions are given when only class identifying conclusions are proper, the other vice versa. In the first situation, the conclusion may mislead judges and be accepted as evidence in determining the verdict. In the second situation, the value of identification may be reduced. It is concluded that only when the rule of trace evidence identification is well known and the information in trace evidence is thoroughly deplored, can the identifying conclusions play the full role in judicial proceedings.

Key words: judicial practice, trace evidence identification, characteristic recognition, identifying conclusion
