1. The best choice of a technique when blood is found at a crime scene is analyzing the blood. In the genetics laboratory the person who contributes I would say is Alec Jeffreys as he is known as the father of genetic profiling.

2. Forensic Scientists examine tiny fingerprint details. These may be loops,dots, forks, islands. Several comparison points must be perfectly matched for two fingerprints to be considered identical

3. Edward Foster studied fingerprint analysis in the US and introduced it to Canada. In 1911, Foster testified as a fingerprint expert in the Jennings case. Fingerprints in the wet paint next to Mr. Hiller, the murder victim, were the only clue.

4. They analyze all chemical, organic, and inorganic aspects of a sample.They also separate the components and identify them using a variety of tests and devices. Their findings are used as evidence by the investigator and in court.

9. A crime scene technician would use a camera to photograph the scene, a UV light to find clues that arent visible to the naked eye,make diagrams and take measurements, they would use a brush and fingerprint powder to make any fingerprints more visible, and anything to properly take samples with.

    In Lab 8, we had analyzed remains found at a wooded area near Jonesburg and tried to determine if the bones belonged to a 28-year-old woman who had been reported missing from a city within the vicinity. Upon analysis, it was determined that they did belong to a female. However, it was not possible to determine if the bones did belong to the missing women. Lab 12 presented the opportunity to genetically analyze the remains found. DNA profiling, also referred to as typing and fingerprinting, uses genetic material to show relatedness and uncover the identity of organisms. Most commonly associated with forensics, it can be used in an array of scientific fields such as anthropology. One method that can be used, when a large sample present, is restriction…

    2.Late 19th century an Argentine police official was the first person to keep fingerprint files. He classified fingerprints according to a system established by Sir Francis Galton, an anthropologist related to Charles Darwin. Galton later published a book, Fingerprints, that contained a classification system. His discovery that no two individuals share the same fingerprint, and his classification of the details of an individual's fingerprint are largely used today. By the 1920s, fingerprint identification was used by law enforcement, the U.S. military and the FBI as a form of identification (Amy Zalman).…

    The most common strategy that forensic science experts uses is that fingerprints, bite mark and ballistics for the purpose of determining the real perpetrators of the crime. The reason is that when a person is involved in an offence and touches any of the items around the scene of the offence, the person's fingerprints are reflected on the item. Hence, the forensic team has a strategy of getting the fingerprints from all items found at the scene of crime regardless of the number of people that touched anything around the area. The most unfortunate thing is that the entire fingerprint-collecting process appears to be scientific in nature as it has a process that it is used to obtain the fingerprints. However, the process has over the time proved that the process is not entirely scientific a thing that has made the process to appear pseudoscientific. The reason is that a lot of biases have been noted to be emanating from the fingerprint process. A lot of inconsistencies, contradictory, and claims that the forensic team cannot prove has been…
