3. Discuss bitemark examinations, document examinations, and microscopic hair examinations and exactly why each is now considered “junk science”.
4. Discuss the impact of visual aids in the courtroom and how they assist in explaining forensic science to the jury. Provide examples drawing from specific forensic disciplines such as fingerprint analysis or ballistics.
5. Discuss the different methods of documenting and searching a crime scene. What are the pros and cons of relying on 3D imaging systems?
Remember that statistics, studies and both practical and real-life examples add depth to your writing.
The summary should be of high quality, free of spelling and grammatical errors, and of original work. Plagiarism will not be permitted and occurrences of it will result in the procedures outlined in the “Student Handbook.” Plagiarism and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will not be permitted, and occurrences of it will result in the procedures outlined in the “Student Handbook.”
Some additional tips to maximize your points are: Mix your sources for better validity in writing- don’t use the same source over and over (even in paragraphs). Finding other sources will add validity to the writing. Also, for better readability, limit paragraphs to 5-7 sentences.
