LCJS 1505 - CRIMINALISTICS 2

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Long Description Building on the knowledge gained in Criminalistics (LCJS 1500), this second-level course focuses on death investigation. It is designed to provide in-depth knowledge of how forensic results of physical evidence found at a crime scene, as well as learned crime scene observation and documentation, are used to develop the manner of death into either Homicide, Accident, Suicide, Natural Death or Could Not Be Determined. The course will address the advanced knowledge needed to investigate or review the many possible different forensic scenes, and provide a higher understanding of what forensic investigators do and how a scene is processed. Each standalone subject introduces the evidence type and its forensic significance, details the relevant distinguishing and discriminating characteristics for the trace material in question, presents the analytical techniques commonly applied in the criminalistics laboratory, and discusses data interpretation and evidential value.
