Forensic pathology

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with forensic science and I distinctly remember my brother and I running home from the bus stop every day, when we were in middle school, just so we would not miss the introductory scene of the new Criminal Minds episode. The show always began right at 3 and our bus got to the stop roughly around 2:55; just enough time to run home and turn it to the right channel. And as any fan of Criminal Minds knows, the beginning is the most captivating…

the answer to that question is, yes! Facial reconstruction is not a new avenue of identification, but is continually adapting to be more useful in the forensic community. The documentary, The Mad Trapper tells the story of a Canadian mystery where an unidentified criminal is exhumed in attempts to attain an actual identification using new forensic techniques. This essay will provide an explanation of basis of facial reconstruction, outlining the major categories of reconstruction and the…

play and later sent the unidentified skull, personal contents, and soil samples to forensic anthropologists (Fox Film Corporation, 2006). According to Byers (2011), recovery efforts by police and untrained workers such as those applied in this case create difficulty because vital evidence and bone material can be lost or mixed. Also, partial remains often never make it past the coroner’s office to be processed by forensic anthropologists…

A forensic anthropologist is trained in the study of human skeletal biology and typically use their training to identify deceased when skeletal remains are the only useful evidence. They determine whether the skeletal remains are for a human or nonhuman. They use their training to identify the sex of the individual based on the skeletal remains found. The forensic anthropologist can estimate the time of death and the cause of death when the remains are not suitable for examination by a…

Did you know that forensic anthropologists can tell you the age, sex, gender, race and cause of death all by examining the skeletal remains of a deceased individual? Well, it’s true! Forensic Anthropology may be a field that is relatively new to the criminal justice world, but new or not, it sure does add significant value to any investigation having to do with unidentifiable remains. The world of forensic anthropology is known by few, but the community is a very well educated and close-knit…

Forensic Anthropology A forensic anthropologist is a person who works with different law enforcement agencies to identify and evaluate skeletal evidence; their job consists of studying bones (the field is known as osteology) and they profile the subjects by accumulating information that can determine the age (at death), the gender, and the physical condition of the remains. Forensic anthropologists have a multitude of benefits and challenges, but the reward of helping give the remains their…

For my self-critique assessment, I chose to critique my commemorative speech, which was on basketball. Overall, I think that I did a good job on this speech, but there is always room for improvement. First, I think that I had a lot of good aspects to this speech, which include that: I picked a topic that I was passionate about, discussed various life lessons that someone can learn from playing the game of basketball, elaborated on why I feel it should be commemorated, and incorporated some…

“I’ll begin at the leisure of those above me, please give me a wink, a nod, a sign of life? I’m sorry, this is student congress after all.” I flashback to the final day of my English class. I look out at the lecture hall am greeted by sea of people. All I can think is that a psychological study done in the early 70’s found that people are more afraid of public speaking then of death. There’s a small chuckle in the room but I don’t hear it. All I can hear is my heart hammering away in my chest,…

Once, I had an interesting opportunity to participate in listening and enjoying a wonderful performance at Moorpark College, one month ago. This performance is named “Night Before Nationals,” which was presented by Moorpark College Forensics on Wednesday, March 30, 2016, at 7:30 P.M. At first time I heard this public event, I honestly thought it was a performance about the United States and other countries. But after I had already bought the ticket, I just knew that “Night Before Nationals” was…

I greatly appreciate taking this course with you Professor Skibba. What I have gained, knowledge wise, has improved my everyday resources. My original goals had the intention to become better in communication. In the first essay, I mentioned, for me it 's hard to grasp the minuet details in many arenas. This issue often led to unclear thoughts and to a lower self-esteem. Furthermore, realizing that as an apparent problem brought forth the need for a solution. Basic ways of learning wasn 't…
