ASSIGNMENT FOR MODULE 3 LESSON 1


FORENSIC3/L

QUESTION:
1. Discuss the different test for Gunshot residue.
Several different methods can be employed to test for gunshot residue on
a deceased person's hands, including scanning electron microscopy with energy-
dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission
spectrometry.

2. How will you collect evidence when responding to a crime


scene where firearms are involved?
In collecting evidence when responding to a crime scene where firearms
are involved at a crime scene should be diagramed and photographed before
recovering and securing. Although physical evidence is important, safety must
be the first consideration. Each situation should be evaluated before deciding
to unload evidence firearm. If the weapon is a type that can be safely
transported in a loaded condition, this can be done. However, depending on the
circumstances it may be unnecessary or unwise to transport a loaded firearm.
It should then be unloaded, with care taken to preserve all types of possible
evidence.

3. How will you collect evidence when responding to a crime


scene where fired bullets are involved?
In collecting evidence when responding to a crime scene where fired
bullets are involved such as car-tridge cases, bullets, and bullet fragments
should be photographed in place and have their locations carefully measured
and included in the diagram before recovery. All evidence collection should stop
when the initial crime scene investigators reach a point where collection of
bullets will re-quire cutting into walls or other objects. The remaining evidence
will be recovered during or after the shooting reconstruction.

4. How will you respond to an explosive incident?


For me, it is important to keep in mind three fundamental principles when
responding to an explosion event: scene safety, mass casualty preparedness and
the ability to identify and treat multiple etiology injuries.

5. Discuss the procedure on collection, handling and preservation


of:

a. explosive debris
Explosive’s evidence should be handled by a member of the bomb squad or a
Certified Explosives Technician. In general, suspected components, wrappers, and
debris from a device that has completely functioned can be collected individually with
clean tools and placed in clean, unused metal cans.

b. explosive devices and substances.


Initially the investigation will establish whether an explosion has actually occurred.
Explosions will result in specific damage being caused to surrounding areas, the
presence of which may indicate such an incident has taken place. Therefore,
investigators will search for this characteristic damage. Textiles will take on specific
material when subjected to the heat caused by an explosion, with many melting and
once again solidifying, displaying clubbed damage. Surfaces slightly further away,
such as rooftops and stationary vehicles, are likely to collect soot deposits from
materials burned during the explosion. The pressure and heat of the blast will cause
specific damage to nearby surfaces, the kind of damage being specific to the material.
Once confirmed, the origin of the explosion will be located. The presence and depth
of specific damage or a crater may indicate the origin, or seat, of the explosion.
