Crime Scene Investigations
The Crime Scene, 2020Co-Authors: Marilyn T. Miller, Peter MasseyAbstract:Crime Scene is the source of the physical evidence that is used to associate or link suspects to Scenes, victims to Scenes, and suspects to victims. That is the Locard Exchange Principle. It is the basic tenet of why Crime Scenes are investigated. Anything can be physical evidence found at a Crime Scene. The evidence might be visible or “invisible” it is up to the Crime Scene investigator to anticipate, search, and find the evidence at the Crime Scene. It is the Crime Scene physical evidence that is used to provide a variety of information to the investigator. The work at the Crime Scene is always predicated on the legality of search and seizure.

Crime Scene Documentation—Videography
Crime Scene Investigation Laboratory Manual, 2020Co-Authors: Marilyn T. MillerAbstract:Video recording of a Crime Scene is the second component for documentation at the Crime Scene. “Virtual reality” videography for Crime Scene documentation as an orientation format has widespread acceptance in the criminal justice community today. The Crime Scene investigator can use videography as a valuable tool for Crime Scene documentation, and the use of videography for orientation is essential for any viewer to understand the Crime Scene and its evidence. Videography at Crime Scenes should be the first step after the walk-through (or preliminary Scene survey) has been completed. It can be done before or just after photography has been done, but before any evidence collection occurs.

Crime Scene Reconstruction: Wound Dynamics
Crime Scene Investigation Laboratory Manual, 2020Co-Authors: Marilyn T. MillerAbstract:Crime Scene reconstruction is the process of determining or eliminating the events and actions that occurred at the Crime Scene through analysis of any Crime Scene patterns, the location and position of the physical evidence found at the Crime Scene, and the laboratory examination of the physical evidence. Crime Scene reconstruction involves not only scientific Scene analysis, interpretation of the Scene pattern evidence, and laboratory examination of physical evidence but also an individual’s life experiences, reasoning or simple logic, and even common sense.

Crime Scene Sketching and Measurement
The Crime Scene, 2020Co-Authors: Marilyn T. Miller, Peter MasseyAbstract:The Crime Scene sketch is the last component in the four-part Crime Scene documentation process. It is accomplished using several different techniques. The Crime Scene sketch is about quantitation, measurement, and relationship of physical evidence in the Crime Scene. It is not about an investigator having great artistic skills. The purpose of the Crime Scene sketch is to allow for any subsequent Crime Scene investigators having the ability to place all items of evidence in their original Scene positions. There are two basic types of sketches: the rough sketch, generally completed at the Scene, and the final or finished sketch, which is completed for court purposes. Both of these sketches require the same information, but are usually presented in differently. The items of evidence can be returned to their original position at the Crime Scene because the Scene investigator took accurate and thorough measurements. The investigator can choose several different measurement gathering techniques and devices.

Multilevel Crime Scene Security
Crime Scene Investigation Laboratory Manual, 2020Co-Authors: Marilyn T. MillerAbstract:All the physical evidence found at the Crime Scene must remain in its original condition. Its reliability and relevancy is assured when access to the Crime Scene is restricted or even prevented. The use of a physical barrier is helpful to define the restricted area. Ropes, commercially available Crime Scene tapes, or signage are commonly used. Official vehicles from the police or fire department can be used successfully in highway, street, or larger outdoor Scenes. The barrier’s location is significant in that it will locate the area that is to be restricted. The area restricted can be changed dependent on the progress of the Crime Scene investigation.

as if being there mediated reality for Crime Scene investigation
Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 2012Co-Authors: Ronald Poelman, Oytun Akman, Stephan Lukosch, Pieter JonkerAbstract:This paper presents a novel mediated reality system designed to support collaboration between Crime Scene investigators during a first analysis on a Crime Scene, remotely supported by expert colleagues. Requirements elicited from interviews and interactive sessions with practicing Crime Scene investigators, provided the design criteria for a head mounted display capable of real-time map-making for spatial collaboration. The resulting system is evaluated in a staged Crime Scene experiment in which lay investigators collaboratively solve a spatial problem with remote experts. The results show that our novel approach to remote spatial interaction with the physical Scene enables investigators to tackle current issues on site in collaboration with experts at a distance.

The Practice Of Crime Scene Investigation (Google ebook)
Veterinary Forensics: Animal Cruelty Investigations, 2013Co-Authors: Melinda D. Merck, John HorswellAbstract:Crime Scene investigation involves the use and integration of scientific methods, physical evidence, and deductive reasoning in order to determine and establish the series of events surrounding a Crime. The quality of the immediate Crime Scene response and the manner in which the Crime Scene is examined are critical to the success of the investigation. Evidence that is missed or corrupted by incomplete or improper handling can have a devastating effect on a case and keep justice from being served. The Practice of Crime Scene Investigation covers numerous aspects of Crime Scene investigation, including the latest in education and training, quality systems accreditation, quality assurance, and the application of specialist scientific disciplines to Crime. The book discusses a range of basic and advanced techniques such as fingerprinting, dealing with trauma victims, photofit technology, the role of the pathologist and ballistic expert, and signal processing. It also reviews specialist Crime Scene examinations including clandestine laboratories, drug operations, arson, and explosives.

Supporting Crime Scene Investigation
People and Computers XX — Engage, 2020Co-Authors: Chris Baber, Paul Smith, Sandeep Panesar, Fan Yang, James CrossAbstract:In this paper, we describe the design and development of mobile technology to support Crime Scene investigation. We briefly review the Crime Scene investigation processes, arguing that it is highly distributed. We then propose the use of a simple case-based reasoning (CBR) system to support some aspects of this activity, and a wearable computer to assist in data collection. The includes a user trial by practising Crime Scene investigators, and concludes with discussion of future work.

mobile technology for Crime Scene examination
International Journal of Human-computer Studies \ International Journal of Man-machine Studies, 2009Co-Authors: Chris Baber, Paul Smith, James Cross, Mark Butler, John HunterAbstract:In this paper, the concept of distributed cognition is used to inform the design, development and trialling of technologies to support Crime Scene Examination is reported. A user trial, with trainee Crime Scene Examiners, was conducted to compare the ways in which evidence search and recovery could be combined with the production of a Crime Scene report (that must be written at the Scene). Participants completed the Crime Scene report using either the conventional paper form, an electronic form on a tablet computer (to represent the current trend in digitisation of Crime Scene reports), or a wearable computer (with speech input). While both computer conditions (tablet and wearable) led to faster performance, when compared with the paper condition, there was no difference in content or quality of the reports produced in any of the three conditions; thus, the computer conditions produced acceptable reports in much faster time when compared to conventional practice. Furthermore, activity sampling analysis showed that participants found it much easier to integrate the wearable computer (than either paper forms or tablet computer) into their search and recovery activity.

Multi-Platform Crime Scene Investigation Field Tool
2007 11th IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 2007Co-Authors: James Cross, Chris Baber, Paul SmithAbstract:In previous work on the MsSAM (Methods to Support Shared Analysis for Mobile Investigators) project, we presented an initial prototype device to be used to support evidence recovery on a Crime Scene. Using some of the findings from this and combining it with other work for minimal interaction, and shared awareness for strategic field operations, we proposed a system that would support efficient recovery of forensic data from the field with a simple easy-to-use interface which has the same 'look and feel' on a variety of hardware platforms. We then tested this with a group of final year Crime Scene Science students with encouraging results. We then present how this could be used to support real-time, online, multiple investigator collaboration.

Crime Scene investigation as distributed cognition
Pragmatics & Cognition, 2006Co-Authors: Chris Baber, Paul Smith, James Cross, John Hunter, Richard McmasterAbstract:Crime Scene investigation is a form of Distributed Cognition. The principal concept we explore in this paper is that of ‘resource for action’. It is proposed that Crime Scene investigation employs four primary resources-for-action: (a.) the environment, or Scene itself, which affords particular forms of search and object retrieval; (b.) the retrieved objects, which afford translation into evidence; (c.) the procedures that guide investigation, which both constrain the search activity and also provide opportunity for additional activity; (d.) the narratives that different agents within the system produce to develop explanatory models and formal accounts of the Crime. For each aspect of distributed cognition, we consider developments in technology that could support activity.
