Forensic Science

Not necessarily any high-velocity wound would cause splatter. But it IS an indication that it could be a possibility.

The phrase "blood spatter velocity" is not a phrase or term used by blood spatter analysts. By the way, the correct term is, in fact, "spatter" and not "splatter" as written in the answer above. Force applied to liquid blood will cause the liquid to break up into smaller droplets. Imagine blood running down your finger and dripping off the end. The force of gravity isn't very much, relatively speaking, so the blood drop is large. Little force equals larger-sized drops. Now imagine having blood in your mouth and then coughing or sneezing. The force behind the expulsion of air will break up the blood drops into much smaller sizes. We see this also with very forceful crime events such as gunshot exit wounds or forceful beatings, especially with objects such as bats, prybars, etc. So, the presence of very small droplets of blood in a bloodstain pattern is indicative of an application of a high force. The "crime of passion" part of the question suggests an intent of some kind, and one can rarely deduce actual intent from the appearance of bloodstain patterns. Crime scene reconstructions use science to ascertain what happened. They do not attempt to determine the motivation for why it happened.

The answer depends on where in the world the entomologist is employed. It will also depend on the level of expertise of the entomologist.

Yes, a murder victim can be buried before an arrest is made. When it is determined that a person was murdered, medical examiners, usually do a very thorough examination of the body before releasing it for burial; they also know what samples to keep from the body for further or future testing such as tissue sample, hair samples, samples of body fluids, etc. A problem arises when someone is buried before murder is suspected. When that is the case, authorities get a court order to have the body exhumed and a forensic examination is done. It's not as ideal as doing it before burial but the sciences are getting much better at finding information even from this source.

some strains of Plasmodium have become resistant to antimalarial drugs, and medical researchers have stepped up efforts to develop a malaria vaccine. In early 1997, researchers reported encouraging results

Knowing the life cycle time of bugs found at crime scenes can help put a time line to when the victim died, and also they can help identify the victim from the DNA in the bugs digestive system. Further, if the bug is not native to the region they can indicate where the victim came from or what they had been doing immediately prior to death.

Probably the best available data is from the National Academy of Neuropsychology, about two years ago (Jerry Sweet et al). The median income is about $105K, as I recall, with the mean income somewhat higher (skewed by a few very high salaries). Please keep in mind this is a mix of private and employee practitioners--for private individuals you will have significant overhead, while this is not an issue for employees. Another way to answer this question is to look at VA salaries currently (2008). For metro areas these range from roughly $80,000 to $105,000, with unusually good benefits which probably add another $20,000 if compared to private "income". The Iraq war, sad to say, has resulted in a hiring boon in this area.

you can test the DNA of the ashes but nothing else.

It isn't always, but DNA can be taken from shed skin cells, which can be transferred by any part of our skin.

The velocity for a 140 grain bullet is 3100 fps.at the muzzle,2996 at 50 yards,2894 at 100 yards,at 500 yards it's 2156.The foot pounds are 2988 ft/lbs. at the muzzle,2605 ft/lbs at 50 yards,2410 ft/lbs. at 100 yards and at 500 yards it's 1445 ft/lbs.

About half of the people in my medical school had parents who were physicians.

I don't know but I think it is 1 to 2 years.

High Velocity is short for "high terminal velocity" which is another way of saying that the blood spatter is small and is so small, in fact, it is the smallest of other velocities:

• Low terminal velocity

• Medium terminal velocity

The high velocity pattern is usually less than one millimeter in diameter and is

known to fall up to around 100 feet per second.

You should be looking into forensic science and all the related areas it includes, which are many. Some would include, chemistry, psychology, criminal justice, biology, physics, etc. I would suggest you find an area that you have a passion for.

Most departments make you pay your dues as a patrol officer for at least 6months to 3years... Highly competitive. There's also an exam to pass.

University of veterinary and Animal Sciences has started M.phil forensic sciences in its associated institute i.e. Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology. You can check for the admin or so.....

The Model 24 was made in two configurations - one would shoot only 2 short (usually used for gallery rifles at arcades) and the other for 22 long rifle. If it is not marked on the side of the barrel (and it should be), take the gun apart and see if a 22 LR will slide completely into the chamber. If not, it is a 22 short.

Psychoactive (psychotropic) drugs alter perceptions and moods. One class of drugs which causes vast changes in perception is psychedelics.

DNA is destroyed upon cremation. All that is left is the 'ashes' which are really just carbon in powdered form.

Forensic science is any branch of science used to analyze crime scene evidence for a court of law. All science uses math concepts and equations, and forensic scientists are well educated in mathematical concepts they use to analyze evidence from crime scenes.such as Measurements, Proportions, Trigonometry

they suck the entomonlgy and then chew it up, and make the world a better place!

DNA fingerprinting is admissible in the courtroom. DNA pattern of the individual is unique to that particular individual. Only exception to this rule is identical twins. In such case the some other physical differences like some injury marks or say tattoo marks can make the difference.
