Everyday in every part of the world, Criminal activities is increasing in its new face. Though a criminal always suppose of making a perfect crime, such that no one can realize, a hint or way is left behind & with the use of modern techniques an investigator(s) finds out the rest. So, in today’s world the improvement & achievement of justice via application of forensic Science with the processes of law is a must thing to have. To know the baseline of an investigation procedure, CSI-"Coming to Rage" was my episode of concern for the FSCI 101 assignment.
The Episode mainly focuses on two murder cases. First one is the murder in a construction house while the second one in a yard. A teenager is found dead in a construction house with blood splatters over the walls. The investigator initially analyses that the death might have been occurred with blunt force & with the help of some heavy constructing instrument. On the other side, Mrs. Mitchell is shot dead on her house yard, during a quarrel between her husband & her ex- boyfriend. The Gun Shot Residue (GSR) test is found to be negative in both of the guys & the case goes to the complications .Thus, two-murder cases drastically different from each other begins.
CASE 1:-
Victim Brian Haddock is found to be dead for last 12 hours in a house under construction. The first thing that came under the consideration for the investigators was blood, which was splatter all over the 3 sides of wall. The investigator founds a piece of red colored cloth alongside bloody shoes print on the floor. As the murder was done with the help of some kind of heavy constructing instrument, hammer of every worker at the site was examined. Eventually blood was found on the hammer of one of the worker, but his little sister, was linked with the case as a snuffer dog took investigators to a trash cane where they found a sweater (piece found at the crime scene) & a bill. Then they identified the store from where the sweater was brought alongside Ashley, who bought that sweater.
Under the custody, Ashley told that Brian tried to rape her & then someone from behind hit him with hammer but didn’t see who, as she was scared & ran away from the place. Initially the girl was difficult to be believed as it seemed like she was trying to cover up her brother’s crime. The investigators analyzed dead bod...

...ese techniques are good in determining suspects easily. The shoe print was another important aspect for the investigators. Though it was relatively simpler case it had lots of development & suspects which made the viewer keep on guessing until the last scene.
Case 2 was much complicated one. There was not more use of Forensic Science techniques rather than the GSR test. On one hand the physics being used to find out the projectile motion of the bullet was summarized within little time period made viewers a bit difficult to find out the things going on. Whereas the experiment performed in solving the unusual pattern of bullet shot was very interesting one. Though the story was more fictions than being real & lots of event was quickly summarized, it would be a memorable one if anything such dramatic happens in real life.
So, it was a pretty good & entertaining episode. Moreover the episode was a useful one in terms of determining & learning how forensic science or forensic science investigators uses various techniques to find out an unknown suspect. It doesn’t matters how safely a criminal performs a crime, there is something somewhere left for the investigators.
Forensic Science Introduction: Someone in a restaurant has suddenly fallen ill and a mystery powder has been discovered with the victim. As the chief investigator, your duty is to identify the mystery substance through a lab. In this lab, it will consist of five known compounds and one unknown compound. Your job is to distinguish which one out of the five substances is the mystery powder. To figure out the mystery matter you will have to compare their physical and chemical properties and match them with the appropriate compound.
...lice or lawyers used their integrity. The police skirted around the law and use evidence that the witnesses said was not correct. They had a description of the suspect that did not match Bloodsworth but, they went after him as well. They also used eyewitness testimony that could have been contaminated.
We were presented with many facts that all pointed to Mr. Washburn as the murder. In the house all of the entrances were thoroughly inspected by authorities, and they found no sign of ransacking. “[They] examined all the locking mechanisms, all the doors and windows. In [their] opinion there was no evidence of any forced entry” (P.81). When police looked for fingerprints, “They were all of the Washburn family and the maid” (P.81). There was no trace of an outside party; somebody usually in the Washburn house committed the murder. While in the living room, an officer found a drop of blood. The evidence technician was called the next night to run some tests. “He sprayed the living room carpet with luminol. It is a luminous spray, and when it comes in contact with blood it illuminates” (P.82). To both men’s surprise the whole living room was illuminating. After spraying further the men found a trail from the living room through the kitchen to the garage. In the closet the men found a wet mop, which was tested for blood and also came back positive. Somebody tried to clean his or her bloody mess, and try to save himself. The physical evidence proves the killer was somebody who was familiar to the Washburn household.
In this paper, I’m going to talk about these two intriguing movies. The movies that I will be elaborating on is “And Then There Were None”, and “Clue”. In my paper, I will be examining the similarities and differences the plot of the two murder mysteries were different and similar. I will also try to find the similarity between the plot of these two movies. In my paper, I will be discussing the difference between the two movies murder scenes. I hope you think my Compare and Contrast paper is intriguing.
Following the line of thought that Heart of Darkness is fiction, many would eventually come to the question, "What is Conrad's primary objective through this book?" Those examining it in terms of racism would soon come to, "Is Conrad's primary objective in Heart of Darkness to promote racism?
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is one of the most widely recognized and acclaimed novellas written. But with fame and recognition comes controversy, which is clearly demonstrated by the broad interpretations of the book. Many people believe Heart of Darkness is racist, while others believe the book is perfectly civil. Chinua Achebe, one of Africa's most renowned novelists, strongly believes that the book is dehumanizing and racist; I agree with him, to a certain extent. Three of the most prominent ways that Achebe discusses Conrad’s racism is by the way the African people are portrayed, the African culture, and the comparison of Europe to Africa.
...be enhanced. As seen from the video one of the perpetrators was wearing a dark short sleeved shirt and appears to have a very wide watch strap on his left wrist. When after find out the DNA and fingerprint results CCTV camera photographs will be useful to identify the real criminal of the robbery.1.
Forensics Anthropology is the study that goes beyond the human skeleton. A forensics anthropologist can find out. How a person lived, the food that person ate, and the overall make-up of a human. The use of forensics has grown in recent years, it is used to solve crimes and locate missing persons. Snow, (1982) Forensics anthropology is not a new science. The first case forensics anthropology was used on was the Jezebel case, dating back to the nineteenth century. This case involved a person, who was thrown from a window. Snow, (1982) The remains found in this case were the skull, feet, and the palm of the victim’s hands.
Mr. Green walked into the bedroom and found that Ethan Bohm was dead. He was laying underneath the mattress on the bed with a knife through his head. The police reported a world wide man hunt because they needed to get this murderer behind bars. We later found out that Noah Black was murdered. Someone found him laying on
The First 48 Hours video that I have chosen is “In Cold Blood” and “Red Handed.” Because I have chosen this video I decided to do my topic on homicide, firearms, and robbery. I will discuss each one of these. I then will tell how it played a role in the video. I then will explain how it all comes together to help solve the crime. So let’s get started.
It was not until 1975 when Chinua Achebe gave his famous lecture, “An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness” that the issue of race was tackled head on in Conrad’s work. It is this lecture that has become the cornerstone of writing and criticism of Heart of Darkness. It would be hard to find an essay since then that doesn’t in some way discuss or acknowledge Achebe’s essay. Even critic’s who do not use take into account historical or auto-biographical details of a work, such as Miller, have written responses to Achebe. In Miller’s essay “Should we read Heart of Darkness” he discusses, in his own way, the essence of Achebe’s argument that the novella should not be read because of it’s racist undertones. On critic has even gone on to say that Achebe’s essay has become a work included in the literature canon.
“Some people have the tendency to put things off and make excuses. If these traits are unchecked, people can quickly find themselves in a state of ruin and poverty.” (Ed Hindson & G...
The book of Proverbs displays the contrast of diligence and laziness. The diligent will be rewarded for their hard work and the lazy will be punished for their lack of work. “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth” (Proverbs 10:4,
Forensic science is a particularly large field of work to be a part of. There are many important parts to it that are all very different. In short, forensic science deals with applying scientific knowledge to legal and criminal situations. As mentioned earlier, forensic sciences is an extremely large field of work. There are forensic engineers, forensic geneticists, linguists, phoneticians. All of which, work together to uncover crimes by using science. In any given case forensic scientists may be looking at certain photographs, DNA traces, weapons and tools, and also certain documents.
One might find several topics over the teachings of Hebrew wisdom about diligence. From reading proverbs, one can say that the difference between diligence and laziness is this. “Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in slave labor” (Proverbs 12:24 NIV). Proverbs explains how the diligent person will be able to inherit richness, but the lazy person will be the one suffering.
