FSC239Y5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Crime Scene, Outer Perimeter
Document Summary
There are many types of crime scenes, with different challenges, responsibilities, and needs. They can be classified by offense, size, or type of crime. Where the crime occurs, it is referred to as a primary scene. Where the body was found. ) are secondary, tertiary, and so on. A crime scene is not static and boundaries are often redefined as needed. A scene can establish links between people involved, timelines, objects, and the crime itself. Context is incredibly important on the scene, with any of the linkages. While working with the crime scene, it is being changed. Leads are generated to expand the investigation. The evidence is understood based on the information located at the scene. The scene can impart information in terms of the context of the investigation. The scene helps understand behaviour, such as body positioning, conflicts, sequencing, and any motion of the people involved. The scene will most likely indicate how many people were involved.
