Forensic science guides
Practical, answer-first guides for crime scene investigators, forensic laboratories, medical examiners and the legal teams who rely on their work: the methods, the standards, what holds up in court — and where 3D documentation changes the job.
FeaturedCrime sceneBlood spatter analysis: how bloodstain patterns are read
Blood spatter analysis, properly called bloodstain pattern analysis, reads the size, shape and position of bloodstains to work out where blood came from, what set it in motion and in what order.Read the guide
CourtThe CSI effect: what it is and what the research actually shows
The CSI effect is the claim that forensic TV dramas change what jurors expect from evidence. Surveys find high expectations, but studies of real verdicts have not found the acquittals prosecutors feared.
PathologyVirtual autopsy (virtopsy): how it works, what it finds and what it misses
A virtual autopsy examines a body with post-mortem CT, MRI, angiography and 3D surface scanning instead of a scalpel. It leaves a permanent 3D record, but still misses some natural causes of death.
Crime sceneThe 7 S's of crime scene investigation, step by step
The 7 S's of crime scene investigation are secure the scene, separate the witnesses, scan, see, sketch, search for evidence, then secure and collect it: seven steps in an order that keeps evidence intact.
