To know about phenomenon refraction you must learn the meaning of the word and how is does it apply to forensics science. Refraction is when the waves bend as they pass from one medium to another, when that happen, it cause the waves to have a change in their speed. When a series of waves create an angle traveling toward the new medium, one side will change speed before the other side, causing the waves to turn toward the slower side this is known as a phenomenon. Phenomenon is associated with…

happened on the crime scene and answering questions about it. In order to do this, the BPE relies on a type of forensic science called Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) that helps obtaining DNA testing, autopsy results, bullet trajectory, and other relevant information to the case. The purpose of this paper is to explain and direct the reader into a better understanding of what this area of forensic deals with. Education and training of a BPE and directionality of blood spatter, as well as its…

Technology has really improved the world’s life, from cell phones to advance the way DNA is with technology. In the article DNA Fingerprinting: Cracking Our Genetic “Barcode” by Elaine N. Marieb she talks about the process, the uses of DNA fingerprinting and what is so important about, and makes it easier to identify individuals through their genetic material. While the article Interface Facts by Katie L. Burke mainly focus on internet based gaming that may be an effective method for scientific…

The purpose of the previous study and results was to identify the possible perpetrator of the presented crime through blood analysis and match our forensic analysis with the characteristics and medical records of the missing person. In our blood analysis, we were given four samples of blood and the respective names of the suspects. In addition, Lowry police informed us that the second type of blood found, the one from the perpetrator, was O+. For this inquiry, our group hypothesized that based…
