There are wide variations in the nature and magnitude of the caseload and in the manpower and technical capabilities of the nation s criminalistics laboratories (Peterson). Ideally, the crime scene itself should be surveyed by a trained criminalist who is also responsible for the proper collection and transmission of physical evidence. Unfortunately, this practice is only found in the most advanced criminalistics operations, and even here it is almost entirely restricted to major crimes (bombings, homicide, suicide, hit-and-run auto deaths, etc.). While this approach will never be practical for the investigation of all criminal acts, it would permit realistic collection of evidence and its proper transmission to the laboratory for scientific evaluation. The criminalist must be aware of what he is looking for and of the accuracy, precision, and investigative significance of his measurements.
