The crime scene is a delicate place that must be respected if a true picture is to be recognized in the investigative process. Approaching a crime scene requires the forensic specialist, or anyone directly involved with the incident, a sharp mental attitude and knowledge of the law. The purpose of this essay is to examine the processes involved with a crime scene investigation. This will include a discussion about collecting evidence and will use the given scenario to highlight a practical example of how a crime scene should be approached and managed in order to receive the best and most honest results that the justice system may allow.

Analysis This crime must be approached with caution and an open mind. The investigator must use all of his or her resources available in order to make solid judgments that will ultimately lead to an explanation. The presence of a dead body suggests that this crime scene is a
There are four people of interest. Blood, hair, and fingerprints were all found at the scene as well
The popular television show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigations has been on the air for 12 years, and it has brought forth the behind-the-scenes actions of criminal investigations, even if its portrayals are not always scientifically accurate. This has caused an interest in the forensic sciences that has led most people to a skewed view of how a criminal investigation actually works. The reality of a criminal investigation is that it is generally more tedious and difficult than the theory of criminal investigation would have you believe. By examining the forensic and investigative procedures of the case of Pamela Foddrill, it is apparent that the theory of criminal investigation was not representative of the procedures concerning examination
Janita Cheema Cheema 1 Ms.Henze English 10 January 21, 2018 Exploring Courage in To Kill A Mockingbird Courage is something that involves bravery and as we can see in this book To Kill A Mockingbird, there are many events where we as an audience, might feel that people have shown a lot of courage. As we read the book we come across events where Atticus and Boo Radley have taken risks and done things that they haven’t done before. In To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the theme of courage is explored and it becomes clear that courage means to take risks and do what is right even if others don’t agree.
The book gives a general overview of the field of forensic science. The sections of the book include “The Scene of the Crime; Working the Scene--The Evidence; Working the Scene of the Body Human;
Recently a guy Named Ronald Lee Moore, who is now dead, had been linked to the death of a 17 girl that was strangled. Deirdre says, “ What makes more sense? That little seventeen- year old, never been in trouble with the law Adnan killed someone or that Ronald Lee Moore, rapist and murderer who got out of prison thirteen days before Hae disappeared, that he killed someone?” (Koenig, “What We Know”). It could have been that man, because he killed one girl already. What would be stopping him from killing another? When the investigators went to Leakin Park they found a few items. The condom wrapper, shell casings, rope, and liquor bottle found in the park near the burial site were never tested for DNA (Koenig, “ Leakin Park”). With the DNA evidence actually being tested, they could effortlessly tell who may have been involved or not, because you can’t just acquire another person’s DNA without them touching the object. Another point that needs to be brought to the table is that it could have been Mr. S. that found the body. He says he pulled off because he had to pee from the 22-ounce Budweiser he was drinking (Koenig, “Leakin Park”) For one, who pulls off and goes to the bathroom in a park known for burying dead bodies? In addition, it takes a pretty shady person to drink alcohol before arriving back to work. Also, what would be the chances of him walking to the
In school students should be aloud to have their phone, iPods , iPads, tablets, etc. Why aren't they aloud? It's a rule because it prevents people from being distracted, But what about the people that don't get distracted and understand not to use their phones for inappropriate reasons? These are our reasons why we think phones should be allowed for school use.
The purpose of this project is to provide the reader of this paper with a descriptive analysis of an episode of Crime Scene Investigations (C.S.I.). The intent is to show what is provided by the television series of what happens in a crime and what is supposed to happen during a crime scene investigation. The reader should be able to understand during this analysis to what in fact is non-realistic in this television episode and what is reality as determined by what has been researched. This will show what really happens in a crime scene investigations lab.
When can friendship still be called friendship? Is there a end, or does friendship last a lifetime? According to the Forensic Report and suspect case files it is clear that everyone was involved in the murder of Max Powers except Ray.
evidences can tell what sex, age, and race of the suspect. If the scene was not
The results in this lab showed that suspect 2 was a match for the DNA found at the crime scene. This was determined by DNA fingerprinting. In this lab, the samples of DNA from two suspects and the DNA from the crime scene were cut with two different restriction enzymes and then the DNA was run through gel electrophoresis. The different restriction enzymes cut the DNA in different places, so when the DNA was run through the gel, the gel showed two fragments for each sample based on their size. The fragments shown are known as bands of DNA. These bands of DNA for each suspect were analyzed and compared with the bands of the DNA from the crime scene. The bands of DNA were compared based on the distance they traveled through the gel from the wells.
By now the crime scene has been labeled a homicide and detectives have been dispatched to the scene. When the detectives arrive the lead officer will then provide a detailed crime scene briefing to the detective in charge of the scene. This briefing will be the only opportunity for the detective to receive the initial aspects of the crime scene prior to subsequent investigation. Since the crime scene and any/all evidence collected are the key factors in making a case, the crime scene must be documented as soon as possible including, appearance and condition of the scene upon arrival, lights on/off, shades up/down, doors, windows open/closed, any unusual smells, ice, liquids, weather conditions, temperature, and any personal items that may have been left behind. Once the lead detective has been briefed and evaluates the scene him/herself, he/she will then need to determine if consent to search and/or obtaining a search warrant is needed. The scene assessment allows the lead detective
If a murder, a homicide and or a suicide occur, the crime scene investigator(s) collects the clues and evidence that will be analyzed by the forensic scientist(s) which can lead them to their suspect(s). The purpose of a Crime Scene Investigation is to help victims find justice.
Like you see in the Crime scene investigation shows like CSI and Bones, there are many things that go into investigating shows a lot of those things happen but it takes much longer than forty or sixty minutes to solve the crime. While crime scene investigating is very serious job, collecting evidence at crime scenes requires education and knowing of what you're doing, requires hard work, and it can be difficult to perform this job.
Since most investigations start with very limited information, care and common sense are necessary to minimize the chances of destroying evidence. A plan of operation is developed and initiated from an initial walk through of the scene. The plan is to decide what evidence may be present, what evidence may be fragile and need to be collected as soon as possible. What resources, equipment, and assistance are necessary for the processing? Consideration of hazards or safety conditions may need to be addressed.
Forensic science involves the use of science to solve criminal and civil crimes but mostly lies on the side of criminal investigations. It makes it possible to identify the criminals based on the DNA traces they leave behind. It involves analyses of blood, DNA and other evidences and later on uses the findings as evidence in the court of law. It helps in solving the various crimes in the world and this has been the greatest contributor to the growth of the sector. Cases that were previously considered impossible due to lack of evidenced tracing to the victim can now be solved using forensic science evidences. The essay aims at analyzing the different aspects of forensic science that are used in the process of solving criminal activities. It will also look at the different cases that forensic science was used to solve crimes in a court of law.
