Students attending this course will walk away with increased knowledge of bloodstain pattern analysis fundamentals, pattern identification, crime scene interpretation, and the mathematical components of area of origin calculation and determination.
This course is also designed to help prepare any individual who seeks to specialize in bloodstain pattern analysis with the aim of testing for the Certified Bloodstain Pattern Analysis certification. The course will focus on lecture instruction, practical exercises, and case studies to promote the aforementioned components of the practice of bloodstain pattern analysis.
The individual weeks and their content will be as follows:
Week 1 – Friday, July 19th, 2024:
Week 1 will focus bloodstain pattern analysis fundamentals and composition of blood, principles and theories, proper terminology, and bloodstain characteristics based on variables of height, angle variance, and surface. Students will be exposed to the historical components of the field of bloodstain pattern analysis as well as wounds that are associated with bloodletting events.
Week 2 – Friday, July 26th, 2024:
Week 2 will focus on the proper identification, description, and interpretation of bloodstain patterns. Students will have the opportunity to practice properly describing bloodstain patterns utilizing the criteria of size, shape, distribution, appearance, and location.
Week 3 – Friday, August 2nd, 2024:
Week 3 will focus on the foundations of bloodstain pattern interpretation as
well as the detriments of the improper interpretation of patterns and bloodstained scenes.
Week 4 – Friday, August 9th, 2024:
Week 4 will focus on the mathematical fundamentals for calculating angle of impact, area of convergence, and area of origin. Students will be provided with numerous exercises to practice calculations as well as the steps for both trigonometric and stringing methods of area of origin.
