Forensic Analysis

Have you ever wonder why people choose to work as a crime scene investigator? I do not know why people chose to work in this field but I know why I choose this career. I choose crime scene investigation as my career because when I was a little girl my dream was to figure out why and how people died. I enjoy watching crime scene investigation shows on television, elusively the ones involving elderlies and children. One of my favorite crime scene investigation shows is called 48 hours on A&E.

Defense attorneys, for instance, now and again contend that attendants impacted by "CSI" have a tendency to accept that any scientific confirmation gathered will be implicating. This is likewise hazardous, commentators say, in light of the fact that individuals don't normally think about the likelihood of error or even fraud [source: Cole. Scientific researchers have been known to fudge results about request to get a conviction, in the event that they accept that is the thing that the police desire. Take, for instance, Joyce Gilchrist, a police scientific expert who

Alastasia Bryan, 25 was sitting behind the wheel of her gray sedan when a man walked up to her vehicle and shot her to death through the window (NBCNewYork). The suspect has yet to be identified, but surveillance videos show a man exiting his vehicle, walking up to Bryan’s vehicle and shooting her to death.

From Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, to Al Qaeda, the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks, terrorism in the form of bombs has always been recognized as a perpetual threat to society, only increasing as tensions with groups like ISIS grow. However, in the past decade, a new wave of terrorism has been on the rise: shootings. And with every subsequent attack, the dissemination of fear among the people expedites, making it difficult for anyone to feel completely safe anymore. As a result, law enforcement has been desperately searching for innovative measures that can be taken in order to prevent such devastations. This includes turning to forensic profiling, attempts to understand these perpetrators’ minds, so as to catch early signs of preparation

When completing a crime scene sketch, it is important to include specific information on each sketch.

The Locard’s Exchange Principle is a specific concept that was developed by Dr. Locard in 1877 through 1966. In my opinion, I believe that the Locard’s Exchange Principle is when two things come into contact in exchange into something that is going to happen. What does this mean for evidence or any crime scene for when a criminal goes into a place where both leave something as well as take something away into terms of evidence which can result into having physical contact with any scene? I believe that no matter where a criminal goes, that criminal can leave all sorts of evidence such as DNA, fingerprints, footprints, hair, blood, pieces of clothing,

According to Young and Ortmeier (2011), the forensic value of firearm and ballistics evidence is associated with the ability to link the firearm to the crime and the shooter. Markings and striations of the firearm on expended cartridge casings and projectile discovered at a crime are collected and compared to known bullets in a database of known firearm types and test-fired bullets. By checking these national databases, the firearm can be linked to several crimes or not connected to any crimes whatsoever. However, other evidence such as DNA and fingerprints can be linked to other crimes and therefore can link the person to the crime as well (Ortmeier, 2011).

What assessments would you conduct to enhance your understanding of the client’s problems and how would your choice of assessment(s) inform your diagnostic formation and treatment planning?

Due to the CSI effect jurors are expecting more, and stronger, forensic evidence at a trial even if it is unnecessary. This is causing jurors to be more lenient when prosecutors fail to present forensic evidence.

Oral history and visits to archives or libraries are the two major approaches in my project. Considering the facts that many Korean War veterans or their relatives are mostly octogenarians, it is imperative to race with time to inquire them about how the identification of their loved ones brings them closure (or what kind of report can persuade them that their loved ones are indeed dead). Archival sources will be used to study forensic technology, operation of military forensic agencies, and U.S. foreign policies, and I will probe POW/MIA families’ opinions on these issues through interviews. Although such opinions may be gleaned from news articles, oral history collections, or journals of veteran organizations, interviews are to corroborate

Every criminal investigation starts off the same way: A crime was committed, someone informs the police, law enforcement shows up, secures the crime scene and they start the investigation. There are steps taken in every investigation. Police interview witnesses, check surveillance, interrogate suspects; however, one of the most important steps is the collection and analysis of evidence. According to the Encyclopedia of Criminology (2014), forensic evidence refers to the verbal statements and physical items presented to a neutral fact-finder in the court of law that assist him or her in rendering a verdict (Vandenberg, 2014). In simple terms, it is anything offered to a court to demonstrate if the suspect on trial is guilt or innocent.
