Incorporates the latest findings on fluid dynamics to fundamentally change the way bloodstains are interpreted The information gained from analysing bloodstain patterns can be used to reconstruct an accident or violent crime and properly evaluate the statements of witnesses and participants. This groundbreaking book incorporates the latest studies on fluid dynamics to show new ways of looking at and interpreting this crucial evidence.
Traditionally bloodstain analysis is based on methods that were derived in the 1920s - but medical research into blood composition and behaviour has moved on. This book presents completely new scientific evaluations of blood dynamics and will fundamentally change the way in which bloodstains are interpreted. As such, it will be required reading for anyone who deals with blood evidence at the crime scene, in the lab or in the courtroom.
