well. In regards to the witnesses they should all be interviewed individually. Each witness should be screened for Gun shot Residue, and fingerprints shall be obtained from each one of them (McGuire, 2008). Each member of law enforcement and its forensic team play a significant role when dealing with crime scenes such as this. The preservation and gathering of evidence is as crucial as the gathering of information from bystanders and witnesses. It is crucial that each participant involved with a…

A tremendous amount of education is necessary for one to be an efficient bloodstain expert (BPE). Experience in this field is also a great tool when it comes to making the correct judgment. Experience helps an expert to determine the bloodstains that may overlap. A single crime scene may have various bloodstains patterns. This leads to the need of a BPE though it is very important to weigh in all the evidence at the scene. Some evidence includes bullet trajectories, DNA, firearms analysis (if…

Forensic odontology is an investigative aspect of dentistry that analyzes dental evidence for human identification.1 Human identification has always been of great importance in the society. The role of a forensic odontologist is not only in identifying dead remains but also deals with cases such as criminal investigations, mass insurance settlements, military proceeding,2 identification of bite marks, age estimation and as a an expert witness in legal cases. Teeth being the most durable…

during, and after at a crime scene. Further, crime investigators apply general reasoning, physical, deductive and inductive and other scientific methods. Solving a crime scene is becoming a minor problem because crime scene engineers can use the forensic science to find out the events that took place when a crime scene occurred to get clear details concerning the crime scene (Cole 264). Some of these new technologies include the Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry machine…

In the eyes of Sherlock Holmes, doctors seemed to have a lot of knowledge of the human anatomy. Where and how to hit vital points in a persons body and also knowing that doctors tend to be perfectionists, Holmes came up with the theory that if a doctor goes wrong, they would be the first of all criminals. Not only do doctors study about the human body but also about chemistry and poisons to either heal or kill someone. This made Holme's theory pretty accurate. Not all doctors are criminals, but…

really hard at getting a good degree on it. Criminal Investigators must prepare reports that detail the investigation findings, and must record evidence documents by using things such as cameras. You need to have handcuffs, a handgun, notebook computers, surveillance videos or audio recordings, and two way radios in order to protect oneself from things that can occur during an investigation. Having knowledge in law enforcement, personal safety in order to stay safe, English knowledge, and…

Technology has been a key element that has advanced our society in many ways. In this advancement we have been able to find criminals much quicker and been able to ensure the correct information about arrestees. Technology has been helpful to many departments in the criminal justice system including police officers, probation officers, and corrections officers. Not only can we find criminals in our own states but, also worldwide due to data bases that hold each individual’s information A police…

My primary interest of study lies in the field of forensic anthropology, in which I will analyze human remains while using a variety of techniques based on forensic chemistry to solve criminal cases. Moreover, forensic chemistry is a field of study that inspires my passion for science, while readying me for a future career as a forensic anthropologist. Ultimately, being an attendant at the Summer Pre-College Forensic Chemistry program at UMass Amherst will allow me to study a field that…

Introduction: After further investigation of the crime scene, large glass pieces were found on the floor of the utility closet which appeared to come from the lower part of the window in the same room. The glass appears to have been broken from the outside, but there is know for sure without further investigation. The evidence can be found by identifying the type of glass and then reconstructing the glass window so that the radial fracture can be examined to determine the point of original…

transfer the imprint to a medium that can be sent to a laboratory. While taking pictures, we should the flash and hold it at an angle for side-lighting. Once the imprint was lifted or casted, we would put the evidence in a paper back and ship it to a forensics lab which would help determine the brand of the shoe and the size of the shoe. Shoe-prints must be properly documented, collected and preserved in order to maintain the integrity of the evidence. Impression evidence can be easily damaged,…
