    Study Notes

    Types of Evidence at Crime Scenes

    • Physical evidence includes fingerprints, hair, fibers, and weapons.
    • Biological evidence often consists of blood, saliva, or other bodily fluids.
    • Trace evidence refers to minute materials transferred during a crime, such as gunshot residue.

    Crime Scenes with Blood Stains

    • Homicide scenes frequently exhibit blood due to violent altercations.
    • Assault and battery incidents often result in blood presence.
    • Accident scenes, such as vehicle collisions, may also show blood.

    Serology in Forensics

    • Serology is the study of blood and bodily fluids in forensic contexts.
    • It involves the identification of blood types and possible diseases through fluid analysis.
    • Serological tests can ascertain the origins and characteristics of biological evidence.

    Bloodstain Pattern Analysis

    • Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) examines the shape, volume, and distribution of blood stains.
    • BPA helps reconstruct the events that led to the bloodshed.
    • Techniques used include examining the size and location of stains to determine impact angle and forces involved.

    Paternity Testing through Blood Examination

    • Blood tests can determine genetic markers to establish biological relationships.
    • Specific antigens in blood can be analyzed to identify paternal connections.
    • Paternity tests can yield a high probability of parentage based on blood type compatibility.
