Gardner RM (2016). A qualitative theory for crime scene analysis. J Assoc Crime Scene Reconstr. 20, 45-55.
Crime Scene Analysis (CSA) is based on the presumption that each crime is a rare and unique phenomena. Therefore, "nothing just happens."
CSA involves identification and correlation between various actions that occur during a given incident. This includes temporal and casual relationships in which objective statements are conceived to either reject or confirm a given hypothesis about the incident.
Detailed analysis is needed otherwise no level of available data would make sense. CSA requires the use of every aspect of science and logical arguments in order for the application to work.

CSA can also include subjective information such as testimonial evidence from victim, witness, or suspect. As well at theories of the incident that were preoffered to investigators.
Underlying the procedures used in CSA, there must be an underlying belief that drives the behavior of the analyst. These underlying beliefs also ensure that the scientific analysis is done correctly.
Heinrich proposed a cause and effect relationship relating to CSA. All evidence is temporally related in some way.
Without temporal relation, there is no CSA. Without CSA, there is no reconstruction for theories to be related to.
Cause and effect relationships may be predictable, however each crime scene is unique and therefore cannot be predictable.
Axioms are fundamental within a given theory. If any one is proven invalid then the theory that contains the axioms is also invalid.

Axiom 3
Every Point of Existence for an Object is Connected to Another Point of Existence for Said Object
Each object exists in all four dimensions simultaneously. Therefore, existence is interwoven into the fabric of existence for an object.
Axiom 4
For any temporal value of a world-line that follows some other value of the object’s world-line, that temporal value must be greater.
Temporal values can only increase, never decrease.

Axiom 9
In order to interact, the spatial and temporal existence of objects must overlap in some way - or - the object must exist spatially and temporally within the influence of a fundamental force.
Two objects must come into contact, which means their world-lines must converge at some point.
A fundamental force must influence an object as the same point of existence. Fundamental forces cannot be escaped.
