Forensics: Crime Reconstruction

Forensics branch out into a variety of fields. However, this particular article was based on crime scene reconstruction. Crime scene reconstruction uses scientific method, physical evidence, and deductive reasoning and their interrelationships to acquire detailed knowledge to the events that might have led up to the crime and what happened at the crime scene.

When focusing on other types of forensics, there are three areas of importance in finding the answers and determining the components of a crime scene. They are: specific incident reconstruction, event reconstruction, and the most important type, physical evidence reconstruction. Specific incident reconstruction deals with traffic accidents, bombings, homicides, and things of that nature. Specific event reconstruction looks at connections, sequence, and identity. Specific physical evidence focuses on firarms, blood, glass, and other objects that can be stripped for finger prints and other DNA. It is important to reconstruct a crime scene because if one has no knowledge as to what took place and how it took place, they lack the ability to figure out who did it and the reason for their actions.
