    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

    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

    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. Specifically, I will examining how impact angle affects the size and shape of a blood spatter. This experiment, but more generally, BPA as a discipline is important to maintain the foundation of the judicial system. This

    behaves according to certain scientific principles, trained bloodstain pattern analysts can examine the blood evidence left behind and draw conclusions as to how the blood may have been shed (Crime Scene Investigator Network). However, according to David A. Harris “the opinions of bloodstain pattern analysts are more subjective than scientific” (David A. Harris). In the first episode of Dexter he is explaining the blood stain patterns to the cop and what happened in the room. He tells the cop the item
