Forensic Science

Criminal trials in the UK are held either in the Magistrates' Court or in the Crown Court.

In general serious crimes are tried in the Crown Court. This is because only the Crown Court has the power to impose a sentence of greater than six months (although the Magistrates may sentence for up to twelve months for a few offences in their courts).

Whether a crime is serious enough to be tried in the Crown Court or should be tried in the Magistrates' Court is usually obvious, but in border-line cases it comes down to the opinion of the Magistrates - they decide whether to keep the case or 'commit for trial' in the Crown Court.

Of course, in some really serious cases such as murder, the Magistrates must send the case straight to the Crown Court. These are called 'indictable only' offences because the process that gets the alleged criminal in front of the Crown Court is known as an 'indictment'.

Just to make matters more complicated, the law also defines what is meant by 'serious crime' in Section 93(4) of the Police Act 1997 states that a 'serious crime' ... involves the use of violence, results in substantial financial gain or is conducted by a large number of persons in pursuit of a common purpose; or the offence is one, for which a person aged 21 years or over with no previous convictions could reasonably expect to receive a sentence of three years imprisonment or more.

If the definition in Section 93(4) is met then the police are entitled to use more intrusive surveillance powers during the investigation.

Very important. A fingerprint is a step away from solving a crime, unless the fingerprint belongs to the victim. But, if someone was apparently murdered, and criminal investigators find fingerprints around the scene, they use those prints to match up to another person's prints, to figure out if this person is a prime suspect to the crime.

There are hudnreds of ways in which terrorism effect the police, fistly, police have to get much more training now and they will be told what to do in certain eventualities, police get more powers when it comes to terrorism. This means spending more money and the governmenet allocating the police more funding.

Forensic Medicine is perhaps the smallest of medical specialties, it is community of pathologist who are related to investigate the death of individual, assimilate all the medical, scientific and evidential information . They are related to court of law.

they determine the cause and manner of death of those decedents falling within the medical examiner's or jurisdiction.

Yes, it is called Grand Theft Auto. FELONY. Do not even think bout it.

DNA evidence is used in criminal investigations to link suspects to crime scenes, identify victims, and exonerate innocent individuals. It is also used in paternity testing, identifying bodies in mass disasters, and studying genetic inheritance and evolution. DNA evidence is a powerful tool due to its accuracy and unique nature.

There is a vast amount of chemical processes involved in forensics, it all depends on what it is you rare testing and what you need to find out.

Techniques include:

* Gas chromatography - separates a compound into is constituents i.e. fire accelerants * High performance liquid chromatography - also separates compounds, can be used for drug analysis * Polarography - can test for the presence of heavy metals in liquids * Raman Spectroscopy - can be used for ink and paint analysis * Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy - can be used for anything from drug analysis to paint analysis * Flame Absorption Atomic Spectroscopy - can be used to detect metal ions in mixtures

Forensic Anthropology- If You Like Biological sciences, history, anthropology and archeology, forensic anthropology may be right for you. The major duties of this position are helping the (Medical Examiner) or coroner with the recovery and identification of human remains. This work includes estimating biological profile's, sex, height, race, ect.) of skeletal remains and assessing the causes of skeletal trauma. You May have to visit an internment site, help excavate it, and examine tissue or skeletal remains for the purpose of identifying the deceased person and helping to determine the probable time and cause of death.

Being a forensic Anthropologist requires a great deal of educational preparation. You need a bachelor's Degree in a subject Such as Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, or Anthropology, and a Grauate Degree, Preferably a doctorate in anthropology or human biology. You need a PhD and at least three years of experience in forensic anthropology when seeking board certification in the field.

Although you may be able to work in the field with fewer credentials, having the postgraduate education makes you a more attractive candidate. Most forensic Anthropologists work at universities and serve as consultants to MEs and the courts.

Scene is not emo.

Scene is a fashion and is not music. Emo is a type of music, scene is different, Scene's like bring colours and are always happy.Emos are into gothic like clothes and are usaually un happy. Most scene people prefer the styles of music like screamo and metal. True scenes listen to almost aything other than country, because there are different types of scene. Scene kids often where skinny jeans, flashy belts, band shirts, ballet flats(for girls)converse, vans flat shoes, and bracelets. They also wear Brass Knuckes and belts that stretch around your shirts.They also usually have a large variation and amount of peircings, and tattoos. What makes scene people are their hair and how they act, you have to know what you are expected to be.

For the hair:

Boys - blond and black in different area, parted bangs, and sometimes spiked in the back, with streaks of neon color.

Girls - iif you have small face features, bleach blond. A rounder face goes brunette. Both must have choppy layers and random color streaks, and coon tails. Teased at the top.

As for jewelry, the scene girls pretty much wear cartoon styles, hello kitty, and skelanimals. Big chunky bats and diamonds are a must.

I'm actually doing this homework and what I found to be the answers:

- scientist cannot determine quantity or quality of evidence thus not all standard tests can be conducted

-conclusion of origin of a specific item must be made by the practical experience of the examiner

- don't know a third

A forensic accountant primarily does accounting work in support of litigation. This can include fraud examinations, business valuation, business interruption loss calculations, insurance claim support, expert testimony, and consultants in legal cases.

Since it is not uncommon for a forensic accountant to investigate and support investigations of white collar crime, they develop a knowledge of accounting, the law, and psychology.

Forensic accountants generally have both the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) certifications. The CPA is obtained via AICPA and the CFE is obtained via the ACFE.

It is a growing field. Georgia Southern University has a strong graduate program in forensic accounting which I strongly recommend to any accountants who want to explore this exciting field.

The outlook for jobs in the coroner field is excellent. There is a projected annual increase of 8.9 percent in jobs each year until 2018.

no but they might have close to the same

Hans Gross

Hans Groß (Gross, Grosz), or Hanns Groß (December 12, 1847, Graz - December 9, 1915, Graz) was an Austrian criminal jurist and an examining magistrate. He is believed to be the creator of the field of criminalistics; he taught as a professor at the Chernivtsi University, Prague University and the University of Graz, and established the Institute of Criminology in Graz.

The release of his book "Handbuch fur Untersuchungsrichter, Polizeibeamte, Gendarmen, u.s.w." (A handbook for examining magistrates, police officials, military policemen, etc.) in 1893, is marked as the birth of the field of criminalistics, applying science to the practices of crime investigation and law. The work combined in one system fields of knowledge that had not been previously integrated, and which could be successfully used against crime. Gross adapted some fields to the needs of criminal investigation, such as crime scene photography.

There is usually no legal prohibition to a police officer investigating an incident where a member of his family is involved, but the practice is frowned on. The preferable method of handing such a situation would be to call one's supervisor or another officer and ask the case be re-assigned.

Methane I believe.

A bloodstain pattern is a series of blood drops that have accumilated in a group to form a pattern. From these patterns we can tell what the angle of the weapon used was at, how high the weapon was, how tall the offender was, and some times how man times the weapon was used. An example of a blood stain pattern (BPA) is a cast-off. This occurs when a weapon is used, becomes bloodied and is swung back for a second blow. This would cause the blood from the weapon to fling on a surface e.g wall in a linear fashion showing the degree or angle is which it is being used. Hope this helps :)

It refers to using the evidence available to 'reconstruct,' insofar as possible, what happened during the offense.

I know the President makes $400,000 a year, but I also recently learned that the superintendent of Atlanta public schools makes $400k a year as well. In addition, she apparently collects large bonuses.
