your Plan for Processing the Potential Crime/Incident Scene Processing a crime scene is no easy task. Individuals who are trained to process and analyze these crime scenes cannot just walk into area of interest and commence handling items and taking items of possible implications of the situation. This holds true for a digital forensics investigator as well. Digital forensics investigators are looking for any possible digital evidence within the crime scene, but it’s not as simple as just finding
Physical evidence surrounds the known end tale to a story. Since the beginning, crime scene investigators have seek the infallible nature of human identification. It can achieve its optimum value to help investigators reconstruct the crime scene to piece together the sequence of events. The contents of physical evidence, best known as real evidence, consist of those tangible particles such as hairs, fibers, fingerprints and biological material (blood, semen or saliva). It is stated in context
Evidence Tracking Properly handling evidence is critical to crime solving, improper deviations to the handling can make it impossible to prosecute using the evidence collected. This paper will outline will track the evidence from a chosen crime scene through all the proper handling processes. This paper will describe the chosen crime scene scenario, describe the collected evidence and proper collection, recording of the evidence, chain of evidence, processing, interpretation methods, preservation
material contained within the 201415 PPP232 Interact Site. In the second part of the following essay I will be nominating one source of evidence that is present at the scene of a scenario. I will be discussing in my own words how Police should collate, handle and analyse the piece of evidence in a Criminal Investigation. In doing this I will be using relevant crime scene powers, NSWPF operational guidance and making reference to the Horswell (2004) reading. JURAT Charles Sturt University (2014) states
case. The examination of the weaknesses in the investigative process showed that the evidence required for the case was handled improperly. It is also suggested that evidence may have been illegally planted by police in order to aid the prosecution of O.J Simpson. As these weaknesses are detrimental to the case outcome suggestions of the correct evidence processing techniques will be discussed. Finally evidence supporting the media influence to the final verdict will be included to help understand
investigation has begun. Investigators take it upon themselves and their team to interact with the crime scene they see best fit. Crime scenes can accompany any given setting, terrain, and/or location. Therefore, there is an importance in how investigators conduct their investigation. The use of scientific knowledge solely applies to forensic investigators which is fairly important in a crime scene examination. According to Criminalistics, “forensic science is the application of science to the criminal
discuss how a forensic scientist help assist the police in solving a crime. Guiding questions: What is forensic science? What is a forensic scientist and what do they do? What are some equipment’s that are used? Kinds of forensic scientist. Skills/ Qualifications What is forensic science? Forensics is the basis of the crime-fighting unit. It is devised to assist in the solving of a crime by providing explicit and reliable evidence. There are many different components of forensic science, which include:
first step in processing fingerprint evidence at a crime scene begins with documentation through the use of photography, sketches and detailed notes on the condition and disposition of the evidence. Often, latent prints can be used to establish the identity of a suspect or victim at a crime scene and can be considered as one of the most valuable forms of physical evidence. Processing evidence at a crime scene is a long, tedious process to ensure that delicate evidence, such as fingerprints can be preserved
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. The episode chosen
The collection, custody and preservation of forensic evidence is a vital aspect of evidence integrity, without proper adherence to these procedures, crucial evidence that could potentially have great impact on a court case could be rendered useless. In the case of criminal proceedings, a skilled defence lawyer will look to scrutinise every step taken by forensic practitioners’ involved within the case in regards to the continuity of the evidence, in doing this they attempt to undermine the practitioner’s
