The Columbia CSI team is performing blood spatter analysis in forensics class. Blood spatter analysis is a forensic technique that examines the patterns and characteristics of bloodstains to reconstruct events and circumstances.
The students created crime scene blood spatter samples. They analyzed the samples to determine the point of convergence and the angle of impact.
Students use the formula --Sine-1(w/l) to determine the average angle the blood impacted, thus finding the point of origin. Blood spatter analysis is extremely important to determine the cause of the bleeding and solving violent crimes.
The students learned a lot of great information!
