Document Summary
Many types of crime scenes that are all different. Classified in variety of ways like location of offense, size, type of crime etc. A crime scene is not static, boundaries can be redefined. Sometimes starts large and narrows down as the scene is better understood. They establish the presence of evidence that can link to suspects. When working with a crime scene it"s being changed and can be destructive. Generate leads to recover more information, evidence or other multiple crime scenes. Understanding the evidence itself: putting it into context, finding animal bones in woods vs human bones in woods are different . Understanding behaviour: blood splatter, position of the victim/suspect, fingerprints, footprints, linking where suspects have been or haven"t been in a crime scene. Corroborating witness statements: one of the largest sources miscarriages of justice. They want to preserve that scene, make sure its undamaged as possible, block off the scene with cars or tape.
