Review of Literature
From Criminal Minds to CSI, we have all watched the criminal investigation shows on television and loved watching gorgeous actors play scientists, who in the real scientific world would have no clue as to what they’re doing but surly we have all been curious, “How do they make blood light up?”. The whole idea of forensic science has always interested people and that is what keeps those television shows running. The key to getting and creating any chemical reaction that glows is just a few chemicals at the right temperature and a few simple substances thatcan transform a simple concoction into an eerie looking splotch of blood or human fluid. Chemiluminescence is the generation of light through a chemical reaction and it can be emitted or seen in ultraviolet, visible or infrared lights. Chemiluminescence is common and even found in objects that we don’t really think have a lot of science behind them. For example, glow sticks are an example of Chemiluminescence “When the two chemicals[in the glow stick]meet, the electrons in a glow stick become excited and create a bright glow as a side effect of the reaction known as chemiluminescence.” (M2 Presswir, Jul 2008). This article states the basic science behind Chemiluminescence, but to gain more information and a better understanding it’s important to look at the chemicals that are literally doing all the work. “ The luminol reaction is similar to the one responsible for those intriguing glowing
294). This means even after a week the blood has been cleaned up, luminol can still detect it. Also after applying luminol, the area needs to be darkened so that blue glow can be emitted. “The iron from the hemoglobin in the blood causes luminol to glow, so a blue glow is produced when the solution is sprayed where there is blood. Only a tiny amount of iron is required to catalyze the reaction” (Helmenstine, 2012). The use of luminol revealed that there were blood stains on the bed sheets and suspected that the woman was killed in her bedroom and that she did not go to work that day or leave the house.
The environment a child is surrounded in is what develops a child’s perception into the mind of a criminal. The mind of a child is made purely of innocence until one is exposed to destructive developmental patterns. Children that have grown into the shoes of a criminal had been raised into a home with no control and where the environment creates vulnerability. Those who grow up into childhood with an unorganized lifestyle only want to possess the control and power that criminals contain. Children raised in this unstable environment develop a slow pace of skills adolescents learn earlier on (Shi and Nicol par.2). Juvenile sex offenders do not fully develop basic skills which makes it easier to be negatively pressured by society (par.
On September 19, 2016, AEON publishes an article by Judith Lichtenberg, “How US prisons violate three principles of criminal justice”. Lichtenberg suggests the Criminal Justice System is a failure for society. Americans agree that there is a problem with incarceration achieving very little, Lichtenberg says, but disagrees about the expressing their concerns about the discriminatory judicial system. She insists that retribution is a major issue for why people are being sent to prison. Three basic principles should control the use of incarceration as punishment. Lichtenberg argues punishments should correspond to the severity of the crime, discrimination in sentencings have negative effects for African Americans, and prisons should rehabilitate
The purpose of this lab was to carry out a systematic series of experiments to determine which chemicals and at what ratio produce chemiluminescence, and then to manipulate reaction conditions to extend glow time or brightness. The variables for day one were chemicals used, amount of chemical, order of addition, and stirring the substance or not. The main variables in day two were heating or cooling chemicals, order of addition, and stirring. The best trial for day 1 was trial 13, which was 2 drops of H2O2, 2 drops DMSO, 2 drops HCl, 2 drops NaOH, and 2 drops Bleach, in that order, added to 10 drops luminol, and then stirred.
According to the given scenario the Public order crimes such that the Big drug problem in our jurisdisdiction. The Public Order Crime implies criminal acts that digress from society's general thoughts of ordinary social conduct and good values. Open request crimes are considered as destructive to general society great and troublesome to a group's everyday life. For instance, paraphilia, prostitution, explicit entertainment, liquor and medication offenses are open request crimes. Further, open request crime incorporates consensual crime, harmless bad habit, and harmless crime. The public order crimes also impact on the other crime in our district, because the Drug or drink addition of the community, is the main point of the big crime such as
In our everyday life, we witness many chemical reactions. Some fun reactions you may know about are mentos and pop or vinegar and baking soda. Those two reactions are visible to the naked eye. You aren't able to see photosynthesis completely but you know that it take place because a plant grows. Now what about the chemical reactions that you aren't able to see? How do you know when they are complete? Well let me explain this bright and interesting new discovery.
Thomas Ellis Gibson was born on July 3, 1962 in Charleston, South Carolina. He is an actor and director, To the public, best known for his character as "Daniel Nyland" in the movie "Chicago Hope". In addition to this film, he has made other movie appearances, including “Dharma & Greg” as Greg Montgomery , in widely known CBS drama, "Criminal Minds" as "Supervisory Special Agent Aaron".
The cosmogonic cycle is the journey of a hero through multiple stages. This is often seen when utilizing one main character as the hero of the story. Criminal Minds is unique in that it follows this cosmogonical cycle utilizing two main characters that are both depicted as heroes. The two characters within Criminal Minds follow this journey in each episode. Each episode may differ in that these two character travel through this cycle together; however, in some episodes they are on opposites points within the cycle; having this variety aids to their relationship with each other.
Ethics in the criminal justice system is of great importance. Unlike other professions the individuals working within the criminal justice field have to work with individuals who violate laws and social values. This paper will focus on normative ethics, which basically means what individuals ought to do in a given situation. Out of all of the professions within the criminal justice system ethical behavior within the police force is arguably the most important.
The purpose of this lab report is to synthesize luminol and then test its chemiluminescent properties. 5-nitro-2,3-dihydrophtalazine-1,4-dione was reduced using sodium hydrosulfite in a solution of 3 M sodium hydroxide in water to form luminol. The product was then used to chemically generate light by reacting luminol with 3 M sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium ferricyanide. The reaction created a bright, blue light emission. From glow sticks to revealing remnants of blood samples in crime scene investigations, luminol, C8H7N3O2, has a wide variety of real world applications.
Chemiluminescence is a reaction well known to those who enjoy crime scene shows. Luminol is first synthesized in the experiment. Then, the crude luminol produced is oxidized to release photons giving off a light blue glow in a dark room. In a crime scene show, the blood acts as a catalyst aiding in the oxidation of luminol and hydrogen peroxide resulting in the blue glow 1.

5. The difference between chemiluminescence and fluorescence is the origin of energy used for the light emission. The energy source for fluorescence arises from the excited electron falling back to its ground state, emitting light. This energy is emitted as light when it is absorbed at a higher frequency and then released at a lower frequency visible to humans. The energy source of chemiluminescence comes from the breaking, forming, or restructuring of chemical bonds in a
Crime investigation is a tricky thing. Often times there’s piles upon piles of evidence, but sometimes there’s nothing but a crimson smear on the back of a couch. The process can take years too, due to insufficient evidence. But what if there was a way to make it easier? With a drop of blood scientists can paint whole pictures. If blood can do so much with so little, it’s crazy to say it’s not valuable evidence in a crime scene.
The criminal mind is something that is difficult to comprehend. The aggressive, manic, and psychotic behaviors of criminals are all a reflection of their human biology and the environment. Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, committed several crimes of murder and rape which were behaviors influenced by both external factors and his genetic makeup. While certain justifications for criminal acts can be argued as irrational, it is clear that the biological and environmental factors that contribute to Dahmer’s loneliness, and antisocial behavior fail to fully excuse his motives. These factors fail to fully excuse his motives because he used his “insanity” at trial as a plea to escape any consequences, and because he was not deprived from the ability to resist his impulsive and obsessive behavior. It is important to acknowledge cases like Dahmer’s because further advances can be made to treat psychotic behaviors and answer vexing questions in regards to law and medicine.
