What do the left and rights sides of the brain do? Which side of the brain does a police sketch artist use when creating a suspect sketch?
The left side sees and interprets the world in symbols and languages. However the right side interprets it in terms of space and shape.
In the activities, you are asked to help draw a sketch of the suspects. How did you do? Was it easy or hard to create an accurate sketch? Why?
We used a PD artist to create accurate sketches of the criminal, it wasn’t extremely easy. As remembering the criminal’s face and jotting down the exact details was hard. I think it was hard as my left side works better than my right side and to remember someone’s face you need your left side which helps remember details.
In the first crime scene, what other evidence might be available for forensic scientists in addition to your suspect sketch? Choose one piece of evidence that might be available. How would forensic scientists use the evidence to identify the suspect?
Fingerprints on the toilet paper, or anywhere else. You could also look around to see if the criminal has dropped something of his.
Fingerprints could be analyzed and as they are unique it would be easier to track the criminal down.
In the second crime scene, what other evidence might be available for forensic scientists in addition to your suspect sketch? Choose one piece of evidence that might be available. How would forensic scientists use the evidence to identify the suspect?
Again fingerprints would be an effective way as they would be found on the elevator’s keys, and as every fingerprint is unique you can figure out who committed the crime. They just have to analyze the prints
