In a cooperative effort between our Criminal Justice Program and our Housing and Residential Services students in Professor Michael S. McCutcheon's Criminal Investigation course were able to work crime scenes in an unoccupied suite in Aubuchon Hall. In this lab, students use various methods to create blood spatter patterns, then perform blood spatter analysis. Bloodstain Pattern Analysis a forensic discipline that interprets the size, shape, and distribution of bloodstains at a crime scene to reconstruct events, such as identifying the positioning of individuals, weapon type, and mechanism of bloodshed.
