Forensic Science in Action: From Crime Scene to Courtroom (Enhanced DVD)

What happens when there’s a gruesome crime committed and law enforcement uses its scientific resources and methods to find answers? Can questions be answered with scientific resources? Can a murder be solved with forensic science? This video takes you through a dramatized investigation where they follow scientists throughout the processes of discovering the crime scene, evidence analysis, and presenting the evidence and findings in court. This allows for viewers to really see how an actual crime scene is tackled. This video includes a look at each stage of evidence analysis that a person would see when working on a real crime scene. This is beneficial to know when you have to sift through loads of different evidence. Instead of watching a bunch of hype from Hollywood, this video shows a very realistic depiction of the process of forensic science. This process includes evidence recording, DNA profiling, field photography, victim identification, fingerprint readings (complete with an explanation of ridge analysis and print type) and much more. Set in Australia. Viewable/printable educational resources are available online. (21 minutes)
