Crime reconstruction

hate crime is usually a violent, prejudice-motivated crime that occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her perceived membership in a certain social group. The term “hate crime” did not enter the nation’s vocabulary until the late 1960’s, when emerging hate groups like the Skinheads as well as the Ku Klux Klan conducted many bias-related criminal acts. Many incidents may involve damage to property, physical assault, bullying, harassment, verbal abuse or insults. Hate crimes…

Precautionary Acts There are many cases where offenders have taken precautionary acts before, during and after committing a crime. A good example in this case would be the ones discovered in the infamous Wisconsin v. John Maloney case of 1998. John Maloney became a suspect in the murder case of his wife Sandra Jean Maloney after she was found dead in her house, which seemed it have been consumed by fire (Baeza et al, 2000). Sandra was found dead by her mother on 11th February, 1998 by her mother…

If there is a bloodstains then the location and the distribution of the blood stain along with the spatters maybe useful in…

When the police officers record the crime scene they can get all angles in what take. They can get a lot of information from the video. If the people are taking pictures of the crime there is angles where they can miss something crucial to the investigation. They only get so much with the pictures. With the video you can go slowly and just cover all parts of the room and any other surrounding areas that are apart of the crime scene. The investigators can go over the recording with…

emphasis on the victims being the most important after a crime has taken place. A police procedural is a subgenre of detective fiction which attempts to convincingly illustrate the activities of a police force as they investigate crime. Over the years these procedurals have become more prominent and the most watched shows on TV, and victims are being prioritized as number one as they are shown to be the ones mostly traumatized at the aftermath of a crime. These shows also use several ways to…

As a law enforcement officer who specializes in traffic enforcement and traffic crash reconstruction I chose to look at the cause and effect of traffic enforcement. As law enforcement we use statistical analysis everyday, but most of the time officers do not realize they are doing this because it is second nature. Traffic officers take the use of statistical analysis to a different level than everyday patrol officers due to the fact that traffic officers actually study numbers and can recreate a…

People assume that individuals engage in criminal activity because of their specific race and background or because they lack the presence of something that is related to their crime. (I.e. one can…

slavery. Consequently, assumes that blacks are dangerous, sub-human, and inherently criminal, and results in little personal accountability for black murder among members of law enforcement. Shaun Gabiddon in Criminological Theories on Race and Crime discussed the concept of "Negrophobia" which was more extensively examined by Armour (1997). Negrophobia can be surmised as an irrational of Blacks, which includes a fear of being victimized by Black, that can result in Whites shooting…
