    Bloodstain Pattern Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Law Rence
    Bloodstain pattern analysis refers to examining the shapes, distributions, and locations of bloodstains. The direction of travel can be determined by the shape of stains, with the pointed end facing the direction of travel. Surface texture also impacts the number of spatter produced. The origin of blood spatter can be determined by establishing lines through stains and finding their intersection point.

    BLOOD IN CRIME

    INVESTIGAT
    ION
    BLOODSTAIN PATTERN
    ANALYSIS
    refers to the examination of the shapes and the distribution
    patterns and location of bloodstains

    distribution and appearance of bloodstains and spatters are


    used to interpret and reconstruct the events that gave occurred
    to produce the bleeding
    BLOODSTAIN PATTERN
    DIRECTION OF TRAVEL
    ANALYSIS
    the direction of travel can be determined by the bloodstain's shape - the pointed end always
    faces its direction of travel

    SURFACE TEXTURE
    the harder and less porous the surface the fewer blood spatter produced
    BLOODSTAIN PATTERN
    ORIGIN OFANALYSIS BLOOD SPATTER
    Origin in a 2D confiquration can be determined by establishing lines through the long axis of
    individual bloodstains; the intersection of the lines represents the point from which the blood
    originated.

    IMPACT ANGLE
    A drop of blood striking a surface at a right angle produces a nearly circular stain as the angle
    decreases, the stain becomes more elongated.
    USE OF
    1 BSPA
    Show assumptions concerning and their sequence
    Here the position of the victim (Which may indicate blood smears of blood trails) may show evidence
    of the struggle between the suspect and the victim.

    .
    2.
    Confirm or refute statements made by principals in the case

    Here, stain patterns on a suspects/victim's can help verify the accounts given by either the witnesses or
    the suspect.
    CHRACTERISTICS OF A BLOOD
    LOW SPATTER
    e.g. free-falling drops, cast off from weapons
    (5 ft/s. 1.5 m/s)
    VELOCITY
    MEDIUM VELOCITYbaseball bat blows
    (25 ft/s. 7.5 - 30 m/s)

    HIGH VELOCITY e.g. gunshot, machinery


    (>100f/s, 30m/s)
    THREE CATEGORIES OF BLOODSTAIN
    1 PASSIVE BLOODSTAINS
    these are drops created or formed by the force of gravity acting alone

    DRIP
    . caused by dripping blood
    DROP
    created by force of gravity

    POOL
    this refers to a change in the shape and directions of a bloodstain due to the influence of
    gravity or movement of the object
    THREE CATEGORIES OF BLOODSTAIN
    TARGET SURFACE TEXTURE
    bloodstain can be found on various surfaces, such as clothing, carpet, tile, wood, wallpaper,
    and so on.
    the type of surface upon which blood strikes can affect the amount of resulting spatter,
    including the appearance and size of the blood drops
    THREE CATEGORIES OF BLOODSTAIN
    SPREADS OUT SMOOTHLY
    Blood droplets that strike a hard smooth surface, such as a piece of glass can have a little or
    no distortion around the edge.
    Surface texture of the spreading edge is broken by irregular surface
    Surfaces, such as wood or concrete, are distorted; spined and secondary spatter may
    be present
    Blood droplets that strike linoleum flooring take on a slightly different appearance;
    distortion (scalloping) around the edge of the blood droplets may be found.
    THREE CATEGORIES OF BLOODSTAIN
    2. TRANSFER
    A transfer bloodstain is created when a wet and blood surface comes in
    contact with a secondary surface

    A recognizable image of all or part of the original surface may be


    observed in the patter, as in the case of a bloody hand or footwear.
    THREE CATEGORIES OF BLOODSTAIN
    TRANSFER BLOODSTAIN CAN BE FURTHER
    SUBDIVIDED INTO THE FOLLOWING:
    Smudge Wipe
    Contact bleeding Swipe or Smear
