Bloodstain pattern analysis

and Guns The world of Forensic Scientist is an amazing and fascinating place. There are so many aspects that go into forensic science but in this paper we are only covering bloodstain spatter patterns. Bloodstain spatter patterns are not solely used to solve crimes but I do feel it is one of the most important. Bloodstains never lie. A bullet is traveling at its fastest speed when it leaves the barrel of the gun. Bullets traveling after firing is said to be using kinetic energy. Kinetic energy

When I get out of highschool I would like to be a bloodstain pattern analysis, because i just love crime scenes and blood of course you kinda have to love blood to do this type of work. A bloodstain pattern analysis is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. After you've seen the crime scene you have to give a blood report which is what type of weapon was used during this murder or altercation, you have to see if there is a blood

reconstructing the events that took place involving the crime. Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a discipline which utilizes the sciences of biology, physics, and mathematics. Bloodstain interpretation may be accomplished by direct scene evaluation and/or careful study of scene photographs in conjunction with detailed examination of clothing, weapons, and other objects regarded as physical evidence. The location, spreading, and appearance of bloodstains and spatters can be useful for interpreting and reconstructing

of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Historically, we know that a bloodstain pattern analysis dates back to the 1800s, but lately has it been subject to rigorous authentication. “At this time very little is known about this beyond the instincts of knowledgeable instructors and investigators who have observed the reproducibility of bloodstain patterns over many crime scenes and practical sessions in the classroom.” DNA analysis now used to identify who bled at a crime scene, but bloodstain pattern analysis

Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed. Analysts examine the size, shape, distribution, and location of the bloodstains to draw about what happened. BPA uses principles of biology (behavior of blood), physics (cohesion, capillary action and velocity) and mathematics (geometry, distance, and angle) to assist investigators in answering questions like: • From where did the blood originate from

Introduction Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a subspecialty of forensic sciences, dealing with the analysis and interpretation of bloodstain patterns in crime scenes. The aim of BPA is uncovering new information about the actions that took place in a crime scene, potentially leading to a confirmation or refutation of a suspect's statement. A typical goal of BPA is to estimate the flight paths for a set of stains, followed by a directional analysis in order to estimate the area of origin for

Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a visually intensive forensic discipline that dedicates its resources to the deterministic signs of a violent crime (James, Kish, & Sutton, 2005). BPA seeks to define the facts surrounding an incident in question helping define an objective history for an event (Bevel, & Gardner, 2008). Bloodstain pattern analysis is based on a simple theory stating that the fluid characteristics of blood will react to any external forces in a predictable and plausible fashion

Trigonometry in Blood Spatter Analysis After watching the TV show Dexter, I suddenly had a passion for Forensic investigations. A specific area in this field that I had the most passion for was Bloodstain Pattern Analysis. After going through this year’s Foundations 20 class, I developed an interest in the topic Trigonometry. When doing research, I found out that the two things that sparked an interest in me were somehow related. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. How could blood be possibly related

uncommon to find bloodstains at a crime scene, especially if a violent crime has been committed. These bloodstains are crucial for forensic scientists because, when analyzed, they can fill in details about the crime that was committed and even help investigators solve the case. Each bloodstain is distinctive and it’s size and shape is dependant upon several factors like velocity, location, and angle of impact. For this experiment, I will be investigating bloodstain pattern analysis, or BPA for short

Forensic Science: Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Imagine walking into a crime scene and the first thing you see is blood covering the floor, walls and ceiling. Most people wouldn’t realize the type of valuable and important information that this evidence holds in a crime scene. Those who are in the career of bloodstain pattern analysis are able to take a look at the bloodstain patterns and unveil many important factors of how the crime occurred. Blood­stain pattern analysis is employed worldwide
