Question- What is Crime Scene Sketch?

Answer- A crime scene sketch is a permanent record of the size and distance relationship of the crime scene and the physical evidence within it. The sketch serves to clarify the special information present within the photo-graphs and video documentation, because the other methods do not allow the viewer to easily gauge distances and dimensions. A sketch is the most simplistic manner in which to present crime scene layout and measurements. Photographer /camera positions may be noted within a sketch also.

Question- Why is a sketch important to crime scene documentation?

Answer- ■ It accurately portrays the physical facts.

■ It relates to the sequence of events at the scene.

■ It establishes the precise location and relationship of objects and evidence at the scene.

■ It helps to create a mental picture of the scene for those not present.

Fracture: A fracture is a break in a bone. Fractures can range from a hairline crack in the bone to the bone being broken into two or more pieces that no longer line up correctly. A fracture may occur at the same time as other injuries, such as sprains, strains, or dislocations. Recovery time for a fracture can vary from weeks to months depending on a person’s age and health; the type, location and severity of the fracture.

Types of Fractures; Fractures have a variety of names. Below is a listing of the common types that may occur:

Greenstick - Incomplete fracture. The broken bone is not completely separated.

Transverse - The break is in a straight line across the bone.

Spiral - The break spirals around the bone; common in a twisting injury.

Oblique - Diagonal break across the bone.

Compression - The bone is crushed, causing the broken bone to be wider or flatter in appearance.

Comminuted - The break is in three or more pieces and fragments are present at the fracture site.

Segmental - The same bone is fractured in two places, so there is a “floating” segment of bone.

What Causes a Fracture? Fractures occur when there is more force applied to the bone than the bone can absorb. Bones are weakest when they are twisted. Breaks in bones can occur from falls, trauma, or as a result of a direct blow or kick to the body

Smoking and Bone Fracture: Tobacco and nicotine increase the risk of bone fractures and interfere with the healing process, according to a growing body of research. Nicotine can slow fracture healing, estrogen effectiveness, and can counter the antioxidant properties of vitamins C and E. ____________

History of Drug, Poison and Chemistry

Chemistry and forensic chemistry developed largely from ancient knowledge and techniques associated with medicines. This 4,000-year-old Sumerian clay tablet in the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania has been translated by Dr. Samuel Noah Kramer of the museum and by Dr. Martin Levey of Pennsylvania State College. The tablet contains the oldest-known medical handbook. A portion reads: “White pear tree, the flower of the ‘moon’ plant, grind into a powder, dissolve in beer, let the man drink.” (Bettmann/CORBIS/ photo dated September 27, 1953)

Question- What is Footprints?

Answer- Footprints (or footmarks) are the impressions or images left behind by a person walking or running.

Question- What is the Purpose of Investigation of Footprint?

Answer- The purpose of the present investigation is to study the shape, size, alignment of toes, humps, creases, cuts, cracks, pits, etc., of the foot so as to draw conclusions for individualizing characteristics. It helps in establishing a relationship between the accused and crime.

Question- What are the three types of footprints?

Answer-1) Visible Print- A visible print is a transfer of material from the shoe or tire to the surface. This kind can be observed through naked eye without extra aids.

2.) Latent Print- A latent print is not easily observable to the bare eye. This is formed by static charges between the sole or tread and the surface. Investigators uses powders, chemicals and alternate light sources to observe these prints.

3.) Plastic Print- A plastic print is a 3D impression left on a soft surface. This includes shoe or tire tracks left in sand, mud or snow.

Others Types Of Footprints: 1) Phalange marks- Phalange marks are created by the phalanges of the toes and are imprinted in form of toe stems.

2) Crease marks- Crease marks are caused by skin folds of the plantar surface of the foot. Some of the folds are long lasting while others are not. Both types of creases form useful evidence to identify individuals.

3) Pits, corns, deformity and crack marks- It is well known that the individuals who have the habit of walking barefooted, their plantar surface forms pits, corns, cracks, cuts, etc. They have their corresponding marks in the imprints.

4) Flatfoot character- Flatfoot is a condition, in which complete instep region of the plantar surface of the foot is impressed on the surface. The flexed or curved area is not visible in flatfoot as in normal foot. That is, the medial and lateral borders of the foot can clearly be discernible in the flatfoot.

Beginning of Forensic Psychiatry

The beginnings of this specialty of the forensic sciences is the M’Naughten case in England, in which an insane person shot a government official and was found guilty by virtue of insanity. One of the leaders in this field of psychiatry was Dr. I. Ray, who contributed a treatise on the medical jurisprudence on insanity. Quen had written about earlier historical aspects of forensic psychiatry in America as well. The English Court cases are summarized in this field. The development of criminal profiling is another approach in support of police investigation of cases based on a study of the behavior of the serial murderer so that a suspect can be evaluated before and after he has been placed into custody.

Trace Evidence

Trace evidence often refers to minute samples of a substance such as hair, fibers, glass, paint chips and fragments. Crime scenes commonly contain trace evidence, often caused by the perpetrator unknowingly coming into contact with surfaces and leaving behind or picking up particulates. Careful collection of evidences from crime scene can give lots of information about where a sample came from and how it helps to tell the story. Scientists examine the physical, optical and chemical properties of trace evidence and use a variety of tools to find and compare samples, and look for the sources or each item. Most test methods require magnification and chemical analysis.
