Biomedical Science

___________ is the application of scientific knowledge to resolve questions of civil and criminal law.

Forensic Science

The _________ is the person who has died in forensic investigations and medical cases.

decedent

A _________ is a person who sees an event, typically a crime or accident, take place.

witness

_______ is defined as information and data of value to an investigation that is stored on, received or transmitted by an electronic device.

Digital Evidence

____________ is any physical or verbal material that is presented in order to prove that a crime was committed.

Evidence

____________ is the system of law enforcement involving police, lawyers, courts, and corrections, used for all stages of criminal proceedings and punishment.

Criminal Justice

The best way of performing a search is by covering the area in _______________ .

a systematic way

Which search method would be the best to use in a small area?

Quadrant or Zone

What is the minimum number of police officers needed for a quadrant or zone search?

2

The spiral search method works best where?

large indoor or outdoor areas with few obstacles

The spiral search method is when one officer starts in the center of the crime scene and spiral out, while another officer starts on the outside and spirals inward.

True

The strip or parallel search method is used _____________.

for smaller outdoor areas or indoor crime scenes.

In the strip or parallel search method, two officers walk side by side following imaginary lines that are about 2 feet in width.

False

When evidence may be harder to find because the crime scene may contain a lot of items or debris, which search method would be the best to use?

Grid

In the grid method, one officer searches going right to left, while the other officer searches up and down.

True

In the quadrant or zone search method, the scene is broken up into quarters or smaller. One or more officers is assigned to the imagined areas.

True

When are fingerprints formed?

During fetal development

trace evidence

small but measurable amounts of physical or biological material found at crime scene

Which part(s) of a hair can be analyzed for DNA?

root

How would you describe this cuticle?

thin and dark

heart rate

A measure of cardiac activity usually expressed in number of beats per minute.

blood pressure

The pressure exerted by the blood upon the walls of the blood vessels.

respiration rate

The number of breaths an organism takes per minute.

skin conductivity

How the amount of sweat produced impacts the ability to conduct electricity.

pulse

the rhythmic expansion and recoil of arteries resulting from heart contraction

zone method

Used on crime scenes that are comprised of readily definable zones, such as in houses or buildings. Teams are assigned small zones for searching, and then other appropriate searching methods are employed in each zone.

Spiral Method

Used on crime scenes with no physical barriers, such as open water. Can either begin at critical point of crime scene (outward spiral) or the outer-edge of the crime scene (inward spiral).

Link Method

The Link Method is not a geometric pattern or easily definable. There is no set pattern. The method requires the investigator to be able to form logical links between crime scene activity and the likely places additional evidence could be found at the scene as a result.

Line (Strip) Method

Used on large, outdoor crime scenes. Members of the search team are arranged at regular intervals, usually arm’s length, and then proceed to search along straight lines.

Wheel or Ray Method

Used on small, circular crime scenes. Investigators start from a critical point and travel outward along many straight lines from this point.

Grid Method

Used on large, outdoor crime scenes. Searchers follow the first line pattern and search in the same manner as the line method. Once the first line pattern is complete, searchers realign on the other line pattern.
