FS 518 Crime Scene Investigation and Reconstruction


This lecture/hands-on based course will provide students with an in-depth review of crime scene processing and evaluation. Following an overview of documentation and collection of physical evidence from various types of crime scenes without contaminating the scene, students will be taught effective techniques for photographing the crime scene and for the collection of evidence such as latent fingerprints, shoe/tire impressions, trace evidence and biological materials. Students will be given the opportunity to reconstruct an entire crime scene for court presentation.
