Purpose Of CSI Investigation

Decent Essays
The purpose of the CSI lab was to figure out what suspect was at the crime scene by using the vomit sample to test for carbohydrates (starch and sugar), proteins, and lipids. By using the vomit sample D, we were able to figure out that the butler was at the crime scene. We know this because, he ate steak previously which contains lipids and proteins and that was what was found in the vomit.
By conducting the lab, the vomit belongs to the butler who committed the crime. We have proven that he was against whom the victim was going to vote for later that day. With others in the house he thought that he could easily get away with this murder with others to blame. The next day the butler went to the office, and stood waiting outside of the door.

    The period of c1886-c1926 saw great changes in investigative methods and thus lead to huge development in policing and how crime was dealt with. Such changes include the creation of the CID, and have shown to have more significance than others.

A great flaw in 19th century policing regards the very few investigative methods available to detectives at the time.…
