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
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
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
Crimes scenes and evidence gathering underpin every police investigation. From the moment police arrive to a scene to the moment a verdict is decided upon the offender, the way in which crime scenes are established and evidence gathered holds significant weight on the outcome. By discussing the provided scenario along with the issues surrounding the establishment of crime scenes, the way in which evidence is gathered, legislative and policy powers and requirements, and the phenomena of Locard’s
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
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
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
expert to increase the use of digital evidence gathering as a tool to fight against cyber-crime (International competition network, n.d.). There are several process and challenges found during examining process. In process there is a model called “process model” which is a step to prepare, collect, examine, analysis and report the evidences. • Preparation: During an investigation the needed task is to prepare equipment and tools. • Collection: Electronic evidence to be searched for and collected. o
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
in future crimes. As science evolved in society, so did the area of forensics and the techniques used in identifying suspects and reconstructing crime scenes. It wasn’t until 1984 that DNA was used as a form of identification. Since its inception, DNA has become a focal point for jurors and many cases are not even tried in court due to lack of DNA evidence. Over the past 32 years that DNA identification has been implemented, many mistakes have been made in the collecting and handling processes
