In order to apprehend a criminal the first steps involve evidence collection. CSI technicians collect blood samples either by submitting a piece of clothing or by using a sterile cloth and a small amount of distilled water to remove some blood from the body as well as collect blood samples by scraping trace blood spatter from walls and floors into a sterile container using a scalpel. Blood samples are also collected from the body. These samples are then sent to be analyzed to determine if the samples are the same since any blood at the crime scene may belong to either the victim or assailant. The lab will perform DNA analysis on the sample as well as the victim to determine whether or not it can be used later to compare to blood taken from all suspects.…

When investigating a crime scene, many different variables are taken into account such as fingerprints, any other forms of DNA, or even clues left behind at a crime scene. Even looking at blood splatter, the forensic technician can conclude an estimated guess to the weapon used, the height of the person, whether it was foul play or not, and even if it was passive patterns or projected patterns. Blood splatter analysis becomes important when recreating a crime scene (Peschel). Bloodstain pattern analysis comes into play; and that is the interpretation of bloodstains at a crime scene in order to recreate the actions that caused the bloodshed (“A Simplified Guide”).…

The issue of sexism and more specifically catcalling was the topic of our acrimonious satire. These issues were bitterly mocked through use of sarcasm, hyperbole, and understatement. We chose this topic to satirize because both my partner and I felt strongly about the problem that unfortunately still occurs. By mocking catcalling it shows how foolish men who do it can look, and encourages women who experience it to stand up for themselves. Addressing this issue through satire also helps to bring awareness to how unnecessary and wrong street harassment is. The main target in the comic is the dog, who serves as a mask for men who too often yell degrading things at women, who is masked as the cat, innocently walking by. We picked these masks…

The unit could help find more justice in crimes and the crime rate may even drop due to this successful group of individuals. Without the CSI unit, crimes will continue and won’t improve the economy due to all of the problems going on.…
When investigating, they prepare a solution of Luminol, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide and spray it where they want to investigate. Any iron present in the blood will catalyze the chemical reaction and illuminate. This lets the investigator know the location of the blood. Even trace amounts can be located with this method. The glow that is given off lasts for about 30 seconds. This method can especially work well when the investigators are not sure whether the stains present in a room is genuine.…
