Similar tests are also used to determine if a particular man is a child s biological father. DNA markers are inherited and when the child s DNA marker pattern is compared with the mother s and the alleged father s, it is easy to see whether the child inherited a marker that is not present in either the mother s or the man s pattern. If so, the man cannot have fathered the child. If the man is not excluded, using the same mathematical methods used for crime scene investigations, the scientist can provide an estimate of the chance that another man could be the child s father and could have provided the DNA marker pattern the child inherited from his father.

The course on crime scene investigation will be offered by the College of Criminal Justice and will emphasize the importance of scene examination and evidence sampling. An improper sampling method can invalidate the results of the forensic laboratory. 

You may not have thought of it this way before, but critical readers are a lot like crime scene investigators. In their search for the truth, they do not let opinions sway them they want to know what actually happened. They collect tangible evidence and facts and use this information to draw an informed conclusion. Separating fact from opinion is essential during a crime scene investigation. It is also a crucial skill for effective reading.

A 21-year-old woman was abducted when she went to the local convenience store. Her body was found the next morning in a wooded area behind the store. The autopsy revealed that she had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Crime scene investigators were able to collect a semen sample from vaginal fluid as well as tissue samples from underneath the victim s fingernails. DNA samples were obtained from three suspects besides the victim. A variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) analysis was performed on the DNA samples from the evidence collected, the victim, and the suspect, and the results were compared.

Luminol Crime-scene investigators often use the covalent compound luminol to find blood evidence. The reaction between luminol, certain chemicals, and hemoglobin, a protein in blood, produces light. Figure 8.26 shows a ball-and-stick model of luminol.

DNA, commonly referred to as the blueprint of Ufe, passes along hereditary information to offspring and directs aU life processes. DNA also plays a key role in forensic science, made popular by TV shows such as CSI Crime Scene Investigation. However, DNA fingerprinting isn t just a gimmick used in Hollywood scripts it is a valuable tool in solving real-world crimes.

In general, adult fingerprints last at least several days, but children s fingerprints often vanish within 24 h. For this reason, in cases involving children, crime scene investigation must be done very quickly. 

Forensic science is the application of scientific principles to the analysis of numerous types of evidence, most commonly evidence collected at a crime scene. Crime scene investigators, usually police officers, collect evidence at the crime scene and submit it to a crime laboratory for analysis by forensic scientists. 

The popular television series CSI Crime Scene Investigations, which features the work of forensic evidence investigators, including pathologists, premiered in 2000 and spawned several spinoffs and imitators. 

There are many popular TV shows that portray the work of crime-scene investigators and the methods they employ to analyze evidence. The use of chemicals to visualize latent (invisible) fingerprints is a particularly common practice, and many compounds can be used for this purpose, including ninhydrin.
