Forensic - ANSWER ✔✔-scientific tests or techniques used in connection with the detection of crime.
Star Trek: Picard Murder Mystery - ANSWER ✔✔-The main connection between this and the curriculum
is that Picard used an alien device to see how the murder location looked at the time Dahj was killed.
Furthermore, the way Narek replaced all of the materials of the murder location to cover his tracks.
Angela Gallop - ANSWER ✔✔-Angela Gallop is a forensic scientist in Britain, since the 1980s. Unlike
other forensic scientists, Angela Gallop recreated crime scenes to solve them.
Two examples of Angela Gallop's unique technique - ANSWER ✔✔-1) In June 1982, Roberto Calvi was
told to be hung by himself from scaffolding beneath Blackfriars Bridge in London. He was a banker, and
he may have had connections with the Italian mafia, it was just a week before a trial. His family didn't
think he committed suicide.
2) In order to solve this, Angela Gallop dressed her husband as the victim in the same scaffolding to
observe the conditions. She saw that in the victim's condition, he couldn't have walked there and hung
himself. She proved this to the court, confirming that Calvi had not committed suicide.
How does Angela Gallop's technique relate to 'reconstructing the past'? - ANSWER ✔✔-Basically: Angela
Gallop recreates crime scenes and finds flaws to solve them, like reconstructing the past.
This is like recreating history like in the documentary of Stonehenge making tools for Stonehenge with
techniques and materials from the past to study possibilities.

CSI effect - ANSWER ✔✔-In simple terms, the CSI effect means that people who watch crime shows like
CSI often think that real-life investigations can solve crimes quickly and easily using advanced forensic
techniques. However, in reality, forensic science is more complex and time-consuming than what is
portrayed on TV. This can lead to misunderstandings and false expectations among jurors, witnesses, and
even potential criminals.
What are the 2 types of evidence that you can provide? - ANSWER ✔✔-1) Witnesses (people)
2) Physical evidence (objects, fingerprints etc)
The jury cares more about Physical Evidence.
When was Forensic Evidence first documented? - ANSWER ✔✔-Forensic Evidence was first documented
in the 7th century when China used fingerprints to identify some documents and sculptures.
Alibi (dictionary definition) - ANSWER ✔✔-Alibi (dictionary definition): a claim or piece of evidence that
one was elsewhere when an act, especially a criminal one, is alleged to have taken place.
How do Police break an alibi? - ANSWER ✔✔-Police determine if an alibi is real or fake by asking them
to tell their point of view in the crime scene. A real alibi will keep a straight story when presented
additional evidence.
Alternative Light Source (ALS) - ANSWER ✔✔-Alternative Light Source (ALS): a way of identifying
physical evidence. The device conducting ALS would provide light at specific wavelengths, unavailable
to our naked eye, these lights can find more physical evidence by exposing biological fluids, latent prints,
blood, semen, saliva, urine or fibres. ALS can identify bodily fluids on objects.
Toxicology - ANSWER ✔✔-Toxicology: the study of poisons and their effects on living systems.
Forensic toxicology: the analysis of poisons inside someone's body.

(This helps Forensic Scientists figure out if the victim was killed with or without the presence of drugs
and alcohol. Eg. drunk driving.)
Ballistics - ANSWER ✔✔-Ballistics: the study of bullets and firearms.
Ballistics rely on the markings created by different firearms to identify. The barrel of a gun leaves
distinctive marks on the bullet it fires.
Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) - ANSWER ✔✔-BPA= the analysis of bloodstains in a crime scene.
What does Bloodstain Pattern Analysis measure? - ANSWER ✔✔-1) The Biology of the Blood (its
Behaviour)
2) The Physics of the Blood (its Cohesion, capillary action and Velocity)
3) The Maths of the Blood (geometry, distance and angle)- like the angle at which the blood was dropped
etc.
The difference between Patent and Latent Print Analysis - ANSWER ✔✔-Patent prints are visible prints
from a crime scene while Latent prints are invisible prints (or at least not immediately visible like
fingerprints and sweat) from a crime scene. Patent prints are gathered by taking photos while Latent
prints require ALS (Alternative Light Source) to capture them.
Forensic Entomology - ANSWER ✔✔-Forensic Entomology= the study of insects associated with crimes.
Beetles, flies and other insects tend to get closer to dead bodies. With this information, Forensic
Entomologists examine insects to identify when the insect came closer to the body. Thus figuring out
when the body had died or whether it had been moved.
