INTRODUCTION


The process of reconstructing a crime scene involves analyzing the pattern of the crime scene, locating and positioning physical evidence, and conducting a laboratory study of that evidence to determine or eliminate the events and acts that happened there. To reconstruct an event, one must do more than just look at the physical evidence and evaluate the scene pattern evidence; you also need to look at related information and formulate a hypothesis logically. The Murder Investigation is any site where a crime has been committed and is related with it. Physical evidence gathered at crime sites aids investigators in their work. These pieces of evidence are gathered by CSI and law enforcement. A crime scene may be located in the same area as the crime was committed, or it may be in a different location with evidence from the same crime. In addition to a specific location, scenes may include an individual, place, or object that is somehow connected to the criminal activity depicted. Once a murder scene has been located, it must be secured and protected from contamination by appropriate measures. It's imperative that law enforcement restrict off the surrounding region and monitor who recently came out of the scene to keep it safe. Officers can increase the likelihood of using the evidence they gather in court by following these steps. Contaminated, fiddled with, or badly treated evidence may taint the scene and lead to the dismissal of a case.
