The Process of Forensics Science
What details are included on an evidence log?
the details included in a evidence log include all evidence taken from the scene, important leads form witnesses, and any details on people or things found at a crime scene.
How does the intensity of an interaction affect the amount of material exchanged?
it effects it because if it is a little crime like stealing a candy bar then there is going to be little to know material exchange other than the candy bar but if it is something like murder then more materials will be exchanged because of the intensity of the crime
Who are the people involved in a crime scene investigation, and what does each person do?
One person is the image taker and takes images of the crime for further investigation. there is the data collector that gets information from witnesses. there is the evidence collector who collects samples from the scene that could be important in finding the person who commented the crime. and an evidence reviewer who takes the evidence and reviews it to find the accused
Types of evidence
Define trace evidence, and give several examples.
Specific types of trace materials that could be transferred during a violent crime.human hair, animal hair,and fabric, rope, soil, glass, and building materials.
Explain the difference between direct evidence and circumstantial evidence, and give examples of each.
Direct evidence is evidence said by a witness of the crime,and circumstantial evidence is facts from the crime. Direct evidence example witness of a murder telling what happened and what and who did it. Circumstantial is what comes from the facts of the murder weapon and time and place.
What is an eyewitness, and how reliable is one?
An eyewitness is some one that was at the crime and saw it happen first hand. they are only reliable if they had nothing to do with the accused and only encounter with them was at the crime scene,because they could be bias.
Examples of when is Forensic Science used
What should be included in a sketch of a crime scene?

What is a crime scene reconstruction?
A crime scene reconstruction is when they remake a crime scene to better understand and analyze what happened at a crime scene and gives forensic scientist more time to better give police a report.
Importance of Evidence Collection
What is deductive reasoning?
reasoning that is similar to a hypothesis so if we collect evidence we will have less deductive reasoning and have a firm opinion on who commented the crime.
How is information processed in the brain?
information is easy lost in the brain especially in this time of technology so if we collect evidence we get a better blueprint of what happened because of how it is processed.
What are analytical skills?
Analytical skills are skills used to look evidence after it has been collected to even better look at evidence to pin point a person or people that commented a crime
