Aspects of a major crime investigation

FORENSIC SCIENCE reports should cover, as appropriate: the management and processing of the crime scene, the forensic evidence recovered, its relevance to trial outcome and its presentation at court Ultimately, the key factor here is your analysis, which should be a critical analysis rather than simply re-stating what is already known. This analysis will depend very much on what angle you choose for your case study, but could look at how the evidence was recovered, how it was analysed or how it was presented at court. You need to think about the finished product, have you got enough information? Is it from a reputable source (and more than one source, we don’t just want you to paraphrase what’s already out there)? Can you find details of the police investigation? Do you know what sort of evidence was used? Was it a new type of evidence? What techniques were used to analyse the evidence? Would the same techniques be used now? Was it the only evidence, or part of a bigger picture?
