Bloodstains are an important piece of evidence in a forensic examination. The pattern of a stain and the quantity of blood present can be important clues to the nature of the accident or crime. Moreover, detailed analysis of the blood obtained from a stain can reveal genetic and other information that can help identify a victim or implicate the person responsible.
A practice-oriented class on the techniques and methods of identifying and interpreting blood spatter evidence. Topics include fundamentals of bloodstain evidence, low velocity impact and angular bloodstains, medium and high velocity bloodstains, significance of partially dried, clotted, aged, physically altered bloodstains, and others. The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a general introduction to the mechanics of interpreting bloodstain evidence. The material is presented from a theoretical, legal and practical perspective so the student will develop an understanding of the mechanical operation of each phase of the identification, collection and interpretation process.
This course is for sworn law enforcement, laboratory personnel, crime scene personnel, and medical examiner's personnel.
