If the results do not support hypothesis
Then revise the hypothesis

Principles of Crime Scene Investigation
______ Document the scene
______ Protect the scene
______ Help the victim
______ Search the scene
______ Photograph and draw location of items of evidence
______ Transport evidence to the laboratory
______ Package evidence

Search the Scene
• Goal- “no stone is left unturned.”
• Patterns and search strategies– Squares and rectangles– Concentric circles– Pie configuration

Presumptive vs. Confirmatory Tests
• Presumptive– Sensitive– Not specific
=many false positives
• Confirmatory– Less sensitive– Specific
=few to rare false positives

• Presumptive– Luminol– Phenolphthalin– Hemastix
• Confirmatory– Takayama crystal test– ABAcard Hematrace

Diffusion• Diffusion- the spontaneous
tendency of a substance (solute or solvent) to move from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.– T or F. Diffusion results in the
uniform distribution of a substance.
