scene reconstruction and analysis. For the last

This comprehensive 40-hour workshop will
provide participants training and assistance in
the proper recognition of bloodstain pattern
evidence to include actual laboratory
experimentation

motion and force. These experiments will be
augmented with lecture material and case
presentations for the ultimate purpose of
reconstruction of the sequence of events, which
occurred at the scene of a crime. This is a
hands-on workshop that will allow the participants
to work individually and in small groups

specific bloodstain pattern evidence at crime
scenes, in vehicles, on victim’s/suspect’s, and on
clothing and weapons.
5. The participants should acquire the ability to

blood evidence for DNA analysis.
6. The participants should be able to use the
