    2. The careful role of processing a fire scene plays a vital role in an arson or fire investigation. Again accurate and thorough criminal investigations of a crime scene are vital to be the eyes and ears of the crime to prove the case to a judge, state’s attorney, and jury. First and foremost it needs to be determined if a fire was started intentionally. From my understanding it seems that a fire investigation starts off with the opinion that the fire was started on purpose. There are 4 main reasons for arson; economic (for someone to make money off insurance), revenge, intimidation, and extortion.…

    Beliefs are the things that we hold dearest to us, believing that they are true and correct. Most of the time though, there’s no proof or evidence to support these beliefs. The biggest belief in many people’s lives is religion. People’s religious beliefs can vary depending on their faith. Christians believe that God made the world in 7 days, when you die you will go to heaven or hell depending on how you conducted your life and that Jesus died on a cross. Jehovah’s Witnesses base their faith on Christianity but have different beliefs. They believe that when you die there is no heaven or hell and Jesus died on a stake not a cross, that’s why they do not use the cross in their faith.…
