Essential Indicators Of Identification Analysis

when u try to figure out the way the bones moved all around and it tells them the bones were moved and how long they been there.

Forensic anthropologist examine skeletal remains for elements of a skeleton that can give clues to the person it belongs to. The Kennewick man’s skeleton was found in surprisingly good condition meaning the damage to the skeleton was done in his life, not due to deterioration. The skeleton showed a projectile point lodged in his hip, five broken ribs that did not properly heal, two small dents in his skull, and a bum shoulder. These wounds show an insight to the lifestyle

This is an attempt to unravel the tangle by an objective and empirical examination of information from crime scene and post mortem examination of the victims. Pre-digested information such as speculative newspaper reports, and statements from witnesses other than those called in a professional capacity have been avoided since theirs is largely subjective testimony that confounds more than it informs.

When a crime takes place it takes a lot of people and a lot of research to figure out who committed the crime. Many people have figured out a set of databases to keep all of the information that is key to figuring out who committed that crime. The main databases that are used is NIBIN, IAFIS and CODIS. These three main database help solve crime all over and to be able to prevent future crime. How they came about, how they work, who maintains them and who uses differ from database to database.

In the Kathy Reich’s novel, Deja Dead, a Forensic Anthropologist, named Dr. Temperance Brennan, recently moved to the Canadian province of Quebec to escape her divorce. There, Dr. Brennan works for the “Laboratoire de Medecine Legale”, a coroner’s office in the city of Montreal. The novel begins when Dr. Brennan is called to investigate bones found by two Quebec water workers at an abandoned monastery. At the scene, Dr. Brennan discovers the meticulously mutilated and dismembered remains of a female stashed in a series of trash bags. As the novel progresses, Dr. Brennan begins to notice a pattern amongst the remains brought to her lab: all victims were female, most dismembered with similar methods of disposal and evidence of mutilation.

Upon arrival, I observed a 43 years old male later identified as Christopher Germain, who was decessed. Christopher had rigor arms and started to see lividity on his face. Christopher was lying on his back fully clothed on a the floor of the dining room. Joshua advised that he pull him down to the ground to attempt to perform CPR. House surroundings were disarry and appeared to be suspicious. A hypodermic needle was observed on the dining table.

Inside a morbid place was the living and the dead. The pathologist, a burly bearded bifocal wearing man, had scheduled cadaver 9252012 for autopsy that day. It was stored inside drawer F, one of twenty-one refrigerated cabinets. It is a grim place, the laboratory where these butcheries are conducted. Lingering in the air is the foul stench of death, the chemicals used to suppress the ghastly odor only intensifying it, rendering a fusion of ammonia, chlorine and rot. Positioned in the center of the room is a cadaver dissection table, a polished slab of steel surrounded by troughs to catch the oozing blood and bodily fluids that escape the corpses during the process. Detective Ron Burlingame of the Lake City, Florida Police Department, requested

Jona’s definition of identification is that “the most educated and motivated members of society should be the candidates for research, and their agreement must be autonomous and informed to be valid.” He believes that people who are being experimented on should have a better understanding of what exactly is being done as well as all the details behind it. Patients should not be the guinea pigs in these experiments “the most highly motivated, highly educated, and the least captive members of the society” should be the ones who are being experimented on. With any case this is only justifiable if the experiment relates to the disease. The belmont report states that there are three core principles identified, respect for persons, beneficence,

In the book, Stiff, by Mary Roach I have discovered a lot. This book is all about the sciences and studies of cadavers or dead bodies. I have discovered a lot from this book. In the next few paragraphs I will explain some of the main points I have learned.

In Chapter thirteen, naming the law of governing identification evidence is introduced. It begins with the evidence needed for criminal convictions. It states that to convict a person of a crime, the government must be able to prove it. The government must prove that the crime the person is charged with did indeed happen. The government must also be able to prove that the defendant was committed or was a party to the crime charged. The evidence can either be direct or circumstantial. Direct evidence is evidence that stands on its own to prove an alleged fact, such as a testimony of a witness who specifically says he or she saw a defendant pointing a gun at a victim during a robbery. This means that the defendant must be identified in some sort

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;

In modern day, with all types of technology, there are numerous ways for an individual to die, whether it was a suicide, homicide, an accident or it was simply their time. One way to help recognize signs for causes of death was determined by William Bass. In 1980, Bass started the ‘Body Farm’ behind the University of Tennessee, it was where human bodies would be placed, so him and his graduate students could observe decomposition closely (Text 2017: page 180). They started off with issues such as: how long it would take for a body to become skeletonized, as well as determining if a body was moved since it died (Text 2017: page 180). To relate Bass’ work to modern day, if I were to conduct a study at the ‘Body Farm’ I would want to find out the difference between a body that was thrown off the top of a 30-storey apartment building and a body that was beaten to death.

Medical students and surgeons avoid harm, but violence to break apart patients or cadavers’ body with the movement of objectification and personhood (Prentice, 2013, p. 60). Surgeon activates patients’ personhood in the operating room to remind themselves that patients is a person, and they need to be mindful of no harm to patients’ body; but at the same time, surgeons need to objectify patient’s body part in order to manage their emotions and avoid harm. Medical students do the same things as surgeon, they need to shift back and forth from objectification to the personhood of cadavers so that they can respect and not damaging

Anthropometry is systematic measuring’s of human body parts that focuses on the dimensions of the body size, form, and functional capacities. French criminologist Alphonse Bertillon developed and introduced the first structured attempt at personal identification in 1883 known as anthropometry. Alphonse Bertillon applied anthropometry to law enforcement creating a system that he knew for sure would identify physical measurements of body parts. Anthropometry has also found use in medical sciences within the field of forensic medicine. Today there are many forms of measurement that are used within biological anthropology but anthropometry is very unique, intricate, and one of the most reliable scientific methods of criminal investigation.

This includes mainly the dead body which can be encountered in majority of the crime cases, parts of body, bones, teeth, hair, skin, tissue, nails, muscle
