Forensics Class !! (ID)

This week in my Forensics class we are learning about Crime Scene’s, What, Who, and how it’s done. At a crime scene you would search for physical evidence. Objects that can establish that a crime has been committed or the crime can link to the victim or its perpetrator. Processing the crime, detectives would have to record systematic search for evidence, collect and package evidence. Anyone who touches the evidence is an accuser of the crime. In order to protect the evidence the first officer is there to secure the scene, until detectives and more officers arrive. The first officer also preserves the evidence, secure the witness or witnesses, request forensic services if needed and condense facts into a report. 

To record a crime a scene you would need photography, sketches, notes and videos. The photography has to be unmoved and unaltered. Sketches have to be rough and finished. Notes have to be taken to court, what’s included in the notes is the location of the evidence, time the evidence was collected, it must be documented in the exact order it occurred. NOT MISTAKES!

My opinion on this lesson is that a crime scene is the most important detail in convicting a person of a crime. This either makes a person guilty or not guilty. This subject is very interesting, because you learn what detectives, FBI, and police go through to catch people who committed crimes. You know from beginning to end. How peoples rights were taken advantage of, or how people never went to jail for crimes they did commit because there wasn’t enough evidence. I’m interested in forensics but I wouldn't want to major in this subject.

Self-Selected Response : An Article I Read

     

Lastnight i read an article that my mother was doing for homework. My mother goes to college for criminal justice so the article was related to a crime that a man was accused of. This article was about a man who was accused of setting a fire in his own home and killing his three children, he managed to get out the house alive. The man was lied on by police. They stated that he set the fire and refused to go save his children from the burning flames. There were witnesses who told police he broke windows trying to get his children out but he failed the task and made the fire worse.

            My opinion on this article is that the police did not look at the father’s point of view and how him and his wife was effected by it. They didn’t see the emotion that the father had on his face. They didn’t take his pain into consideration. I believe the police took him to trial because he was the only one that survived and the only one in the house. They didn’t look at the mechanical problems in the home or even try to have another option on how the fire was started. I feel really bad for the father because I know that any father love they kids and any father would do anything to keep their kids happy and safe. I also feel that the father probably didn’t care if he went to jail or not because his children were gone and it didn’t matter what was going on in his life, even if it killed him.
