Keywords:
crime scene, crime scene investigation, methods of investigationAbstract
The criminal justice system depends solely on forensic science. Forensic scientists’ study and understand evidence from crime scenes and other sites in order to create reliable outcomes that can help in the investigative process of criminals, or release an innocent person. Any physical scene, anyplace, that may provide possible evidence to an investigator is referred to as a crime scene. It can include a person's body, any form of structure, cars, open-air environments, or anything found there. The goal of a crime scene investigation is to figure out what happened (crime scene reconstruction) and find the person who is guilty. When it comes to solving and executing violent crimes, the ability to identify and carefully collect physical evidence is often important. Some crime scene investigators work in the field, collecting evidence and transporting it to a forensic science laboratory for inspection and reporting. This review's main goal is to provide proper way and guidelines to assist forensic and law enforcement experts in handling the crime scene evidence in order to prevent contamination, deterioration, loss of value & to investigate crime scene scientifically.
