Collection and Preservation of Crime Scene Evidence
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
After evidence is located, it is marked for collection and documented, because crime investigation is a continuous process until evidence is presented in the courtroom.
- 2
When marking evidence, investigators should not damage essential details, and if the evidence is too small to mark, they should mark the packaging with details such as serial number, nature of evidence, and location.
- 3
The three main objectives of packaging evidence are to avoid contamination, preserve the evidence from decay and loss, and protect the evidence from the rigors of transportation.
