About this title

Synopsis

This in-depth reference covers the analysis of bloodstain patterns found at violent crime scenes and outlines a logical, effective method for crime scene reconstruction. The book first explains the history and evolution of bloodstain analysis and defines standard terminology. It then draws on the authors own extensive field experience to establish a working model for crime scene analysis and reconstruction. The authors cover key areas such as defining motion, finding the point of origin, identifying impact spatter, and spotting characteristic patterns. The text concludes with practical information on documenting and collecting bloodstain pattern evidence, presenting evidence in court, and contending with bloodborne pathogens.
