One
of the most powerful parts of a case against a criminal can be the
forensic evidence that is collected and presented. Dramatic
breakthroughs in both the scientific and technological fields have
greatly impacted the criminal justice system.
A
recent crime wave has swept your city. Imagine you came home last night
to find your house had been burglarized. Understandably, the police and
crime lab are overworked and in need of help. Physical evidence
(meaning any materials at the scene of the crime that could be valuable
to a criminal case) was collected by crime scene technicians at the
house and from a possible getaway car and is listed below. You will need
to:
- Choose the three most important types of evidence collected from the link below
- Define the physical properties of the evidence collected
- Explain what information can be found from this evidence
- Hypothesize how the evidence could be used in the investigation.
Review the evidence that was collected from the crime scene.
Note
that although this is largely a hypothetical investigation, the
description of a material and how it is tested will be factual and you
will need to conduct research using the Kaplan Library to identify
reliable sources. The final results and importance of the evidence in an
investigation will be up to your interpretation and largely
hypothetical.
Review the link below for additional information.
