As a blood splatter analysis I
examine blood and its patterns at a crime scene to determine cause of death.
This specialized forensic scientist may physically visit crime scenes, as well
as analyze photos in a laboratory environment, to gain more knowledge about the
object used in the crime and the perpetrator's position relative to the victim.
Similar to fingerprint analysis, studying blood spatters can tell a detailed
story from their location and composition. The blood's composition can be examined at a laboratory by
the blood spatter analyst, visually observing the liquid for debris and
possible deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis. Blood may have small skin cells
and hairs remaining within the mixture that can provide clues for solving a
crime. The blood spatter analyst will view the blood sample under a microscope
to find minuscule debris. Other analysts may be involved, such as a DNA
specialist, to determine the perpetrator's sex and race.
The first thing I would do as a
blood splatter analysis is examine the
crime scene and collect all evidence that is useful or anything that can give
me a ledge on the case. Once all evidence is collected I would take them to the
lab, evidence that have blood or epically fingerprints and DNA will be put in
the computer. Then the computer would try to match a person to the evidence’s
DNA, the computer would pull out the record of the person and show what they
have done in the past. The computer tracks down records by fingerprints and the
only reason that is possible is because all people who get arrested print their
fingers in case of future crimes , and all the fingerprints would be uploaded
to a computer. This helps close cases, prevent crimes from happening and most
of all help police arrest the right person.
