The area where the crime was committed must be secured to avoid any tapering. If emergency workers like paramedics have to enter the crime scene they should wear protective gear. Everyone else that is not part of the investigating team should not be allowed on the scene. The team should take pictures of the scene from all angles and on items that are in question about the crime. This is important because the photos will be able to serve as an accurate record of what is found on the scene. The photographs and items in and around the crime scene should be properly labeled and transported so that analysis can be done correctly. This imperative to ensure DNA or fingerprint samples are not contaminated. Locard’s Exchange theory states that when two items touch each other, there will be a transfer of matter between them (1). Which means that when a crime is committed, there will be a transfer of evidence from the perpetrator to the victim or crime scene. It is important to remember that when a scene is being examined any evidence that is found can be critical to solving the case. The investigating team must be very thorough as possible when investigating the scene for evidence. Most times gathering evidence is very time consuming and a tedious process but one of the most important things during an investigation. CMRJ101-Evidence and Procedures: Week 1 – Crime Scene investigation: Initial Response & Planning       Law Social Science Criminal Justice CMRJ 101 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
