Computational forensics

On 11/15/16 at approximately 12:30 pm, I was dispatched to the CSC classroom A013 to investigate a report of an unattended death. I was assigned to sketch the crime scene and collect fingerprint evidence. The first thing I did was I sketched the crime scene. I had noted was that the blood splatter directly below the head of the body was approximately thirteen feet from the North wall and about four feet ten inches from the East wall. My partner Caesar tested the blood with a hemastick and found…

The first documented serial killers go back to the Roman Empire when matrons were said to have poisoned men using a deadly ring. There is a complete lack of evidence that everything happens for a reason in terms of…

The interest in forensic science started when I was in middle school. Originally when my father constantly had crime shows on t.v., I was annoyed and uninterested in the shows. After a while though I decided to just watch the show, and the more I did that, the more I enjoyed the shows. My favorite at the time was the show NCIS. The specific person that got me interested in forensic science was Abby Sciuto from the same show, NCIS. To be a forensic scientist, you need to have a skill set…

Growing up I always wanted to be in a career that would make a significant difference, it wasn't until 10th grade where I saw an article on pathology and it was then that I knew this would be the career for me. Pathology can be defined as “a branch of medical science primarily concerning the cause, origin and nature of disease. It involves the examination of tissues, organs, bodily fluids and autopsies in order to study and diagnose disease” (Sally Robertson). The work that this career does is…

allow the viewer to decipher what the killer’s motive was. This unique twist of presenting crime also allows viewers to see different angles of how forensics play into solving crimes.

Motive does a good job of portraying forensics in a similar fashion as to how forensics works in real life, with just a few inconsistencies here and there. A particular episode, titled “Deception”,…

Before beginning my experiences and observations in this next entry, I would like to note that I am trying to be extremely careful about details that I mention about the Royal Commission and its staff base. The Commission is still underway, and its contents are very sensitive, especially given that the hearings are closed to the public. However, it is difficult and I believe undesirable to leave out my experiences at the Royal Commission. My time there has helped shape what I regard as valuable…

Fingerprints have been widely used throughout the world as means of identification for forensic purposes. Forensic experts have extensively relied on premises that fingerprint characteristics are highly discriminatory and immutable amongst the general population (Haber and Haber, 2008). Fingerprint formation is induced by the stresses and strains experienced by the fetus in utero, which are random and infinite, it is likely that they subsequently produce a random, infinite variety of friction…

developed a science dedicated to figuring out the cause of death, which we refer to as forensic science. There are many disciplines, which make up forensic science, each covering different aspects of the crime solving process. One of the practice, which is considered essential to forensic science is forensic pathology. This discipline involves determining cause of death by examining the body. However, what we know as forensic pathology…
