I did a bit of forensic work and ignored the essay I have due in 3 weeks 🥲

I haven’t really been doing the best mentally so I’m taking it all one step at a time (studying enough to keep me from falling too far behind, but not enough to burn me out). Friendly reminder: there is no shame in prioritising your mental health!

Question- What Are the Most Popular Methods of Searching a Crime Scene?

Answer-

The scene and conditions may determine the search method to use. For example, the size of the crime scene and the number of people available to conduct the search may play a role in determining the best method to use.

Following are the most popular search methods, usually commissioned on the crime scene:

Strip Method:

The strip method crime scene investigation technique, also called the line method, requires that investigators stand in a line, then begin to walk parallel to one another across the crime scene. Once they have concluded their investigation and reached the other side of the scene, they turn around and walk back, following the exact same path they had walked on the first pass. 

Spiral method: Here the search is started from one end of the crime scene, carried out in spirals till the focal point of the crime scene.

It involves a spiral into (inward) or out from (outward) a crime scene. A practical disadvantage with outward spiral searches is the evidence may be destroyed as the searchers move to the center of the crime scene area to begin their outward search.

Zone method: The scene is divided into small zones and each zone is examined in turn.

A criminal often makes use of varieties of tools in the commission of the crime. Among them, knives and screwdrivers are the most common tools because of their general utility, availability, and ease of concealment.
