Cheat Sheet
- Master Bloodstain Pattern Analysis - Bloodstain patterns are like nature's hidden puzzle pieces at a crime scene; reading them can reveal angles, distances, and actions. By analyzing size, shape, and distribution, you can reconstruct exactly where the victim and assailant stood and how many blows were delivered. Learn more en.wikipedia.org
- Grasp the Basics of DNA Profiling - DNA profiling is the superstar of forensic science - it links suspects to crime scenes with near-magical precision by comparing genetic fingerprints. Understanding how samples are collected, processed, and matched will boost your investigative toolkit and confidence. Dive deeper en.wikipedia.org
- Understand Touch DNA Analysis - Even the lightest fingertip graze can leave behind a treasure trove of genetic clues called touch DNA. Picking up on these microscopic skin cells can tie a person to an object or location, so mastering collection and contamination prevention is key. Explore further en.wikipedia.org
- Learn Forensic Chemistry Techniques - Welcome to the lab, where chromatography and spectroscopy transform unknown substances into clear identifications. Whether you're testing for narcotics, gunshot residue, or accelerants, knowing these methods helps you spot hidden evidence. See techniques en.wikipedia.org
- Apply Deductive Reasoning in Investigations - Deductive reasoning lets you start with what you know and logically work toward what must be true. This step-by-step thought process prevents wild guesses and keeps your conclusions grounded in solid facts. Learn the logic en.wikipedia.org
