Abstract
Forensic Science & Addiction Research The Study of Bloodstain Patterns Release from Blood Drops in a Crime Scene Nabanita Basu and Samir Kumar Bandyopadhyay* Department of Computer Science and Engineering, JIS University, India *Corresponding author: Samir Kumar Bandyopadhyay, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Advisor to Chancellor, JIS University, India Submission: December 11, 2017; Published: January 08, 2018 DOI: 10.31031/FSAR.2018.02.000526 ISSN: 2578-0042 Volume2 Issue1
Highlights
Locard’s exchange principle states that “every time an individual makes contact with another person, place or thing, it results in an exchange of physical materials” Welding [1]
Based on the different case studies presented at the International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts (IABPA) conference [4] the authors are of the view that of the different types of bloodstain patterns, the most common stain patterns visible at the crime scene, in the case where the victim was found to suffer blunt force injuries, are saturation, impact, cast off and transfer stain patterns
The proposed article is a brief record of the various interdisciplinary, significant contributions that have been made towards part/full crime scene reconstruction from bloodstain patterns along with a precise documentation of the experiments, analysis conducted /conceptualized by the authors to mend identified gaps within the knowledge domain
Summary
Locard’s exchange principle states that “every time an individual makes contact with another person, place or thing, it results in an exchange of physical materials” Welding [1]. Based on the different case studies presented at the IABPA conference [4] the authors are of the view that of the different types of bloodstain patterns, the most common stain patterns visible at the crime scene, in the case where the victim was found to suffer blunt force injuries, are saturation, impact, cast off and transfer stain patterns. Large amount of blood outflow occurs when a person suffers serious head injuries owing to hammer strike or when struck on the head with a blunt ended object, such as a golf stick, candle stand, sticks etc Under such circumstance one could expect to see stained carpets, clothes etc. Bloodstain patterns formed as a result of contact between a blood-bearing surface and another surface is commonly referred to as Transfer Stains by the IABPA [3]. The proposed article is a brief record of the various interdisciplinary, significant contributions that have been made towards part/full crime scene reconstruction from bloodstain patterns along with a precise documentation of the experiments, analysis conducted /conceptualized by the authors to mend identified gaps within the knowledge domain
