1. Which technique is the best choice when blood is found at a crime scene? In the genetics laboratory (under "resources" at the bottom of the window), who is one individual that contributed to modern genetic analysis? What did this person contribute? Analyzing the blood in a lab would be the best technique, Alec Jeffrey’s is known as the father of genetic profiling. He invented what is now an essential technique. Also he linked a murderer to two young girls.
2. How are computers used in fingerprint analysis?
To match fingerprints from the case to cases in the past to determine who kill/injured a person at the crime scene. There are not fingerprints for everyone on file but there is a good chunk of people whom have been fingerprinted through a crime or something as simple as custody of children.
3. Who is a pioneer in fingerprint analysis? Describe a famous case that this person was involved in.
Edward Foster is the pioneer of fingerprint analysis, Foster testified as a fingerprint expert in the Jennings case. The fingerprints left in the wet paint next to the body and that proved that Mr. Hiller was the murder.
4. What is the role of the forensic chemist in crime scene investigation?
Forensic chemist detect substances such as drugs and alcohol. Also they can detect the composition and nature of the substances.
5. Who helped pioneer forensic chemistry? Describe one of her famous cases.
France McGill , She found a large sum of poison in an elderly couples stomach after they had died on christmas day.
6. In the ballistics laboratory, what is the water tank used for? Describe the analysis. To determine whether a bullet found at the crime scene and whether it actually came from the suspects weapon, it must be compared with another bullet from the same gun.
Ballistics experts fire it into a special water tank that slows and stops the bullet so that they can collect it intact.
