Forensic Science

  
  • FORS 6626 - Crime Scene Reconstruction


    Prerequisite: FORS 6616 .  Theoretical and practical aspects of crime scene reconstruction will be addressed in this course. A basic understanding of crime scene analysis, and related functions: evidence recognition, collection and preservation, documentation, effective search methods, and subsequent laboratory-based analysis of the evidence is required. Common types of crime scene reconstruction will be explored: blood stain analysis, shooting incident, and accident reconstruction. A major focus of this course is to learn how to design and conduct relevant testing, consistent with the scientific method.

The role of the anthropologist is to determine if the remains are, first and foremost, human and of legal importance. If the remains are of legal significance, they are then examined to determine several key points which can be used by law enforcement for identification. This course will take the student through the process of decomposition from fresh to skeletonized remains and the process of individualization of those remains. At the end of the course, the student will also have an in-depth knowledge of skeletal anatomy. Laboratory fee. 3 credits.
