Crime lab analysts work with physical evidence from a crime scene that they receive from the police. After they are done with their analytical work, they prepare reports describing the results of all the work they have done. So let's start from the beginning. When a murder happens, the police are usually the first on the scene. They do their best to preserve the scene so that none of the evidence is tampered with. If this happens, it is hard for a crime lab analyst to accurately determine things like cause of death. The analyst arrives at the scene and collects items such as hair and fiber samples, pieces of clothing and blood samples. Once back at the crime lab, the analyst uses several methods to analyze all the evidence such as with state of the art equipment, microscopes and mathematic principles. For example, if the analysts have a shoe print, they can usually determine shoe size and the type of shoe worn.

Many crime lab analysts are general analysts, which mean they do it all. They analyze a person's DNA as well as analyze physical evidence such as blood splatters. Blood splatters leave certain shapes and patterns and spatters determine how the crime was committed. General analysts also analyze documents for fingerprints and forgery, and they analyze handwriting as well as use firearms to determine which bullet fired the gun used in the crime. But some analysts specialize in only certain areas. A handwriting expert uses the techniques he has learned to not only identity who wrote a certain document but what ink was used, as well. They provide reports that show inconsistencies such as paper elimination, page substitution and anonymous writings.

There are many misconceptions when it comes to the crime lab. Shows like "CSI" and "Law and Order" do not clearly show the hard work that analysts deal with. But those shows also do not show the time it really takes to examine the evidence and solve the crime. And sometimes the crime doesn't get solved as it does on TV. In real life, analyzing evidence can take weeks instead of the hour time frame on TV. Also, as you may have seen on "CSI," unlike in real life, analysts do not pour caulk molds into knife wounds to make a cast of the knife. And there are no machines that can identify cologne that a person had on their clothing.

Being a crime lab analyst is a rewarding career. The average salary is around $40,000 a year. Most employers require at least a bachelor's degree in biology, chemistry, microbiology, forensic science or biochemistry. Generally at least one year of related work experience is required and most employers also require completion of a course relating to the crime-lab area. A background check is always required.

There was a court case not too long ago where there was no head for the victim, just the body. The unusual part is that the defense attorney wanted jurors who were watchers of TV shows such as "CSI" and "Law and Order" so they could spot the gap in the evidence. Attorneys are using this theory now and calling it The "CSI" effect.

Usually you need to include your:

Question

Hypothesis

Materials

Data (if project is finished)

Conclusion (if project is finished)

It is like a overview of what happened so far.

A lab coat.

If you want to be fancy, you can say a uv-vis spectrophotometer (one of the most common instruments)
