New Situation

Bloodstain pattern analysis is inseparably present in forensic genetics, crime scene investigation, the examination of evidence, and paper casework. It times of pandemic related to COVID-19 it is crucial to be aware of obstacles, barriers, and threats that await every expert who deals with forensic biological material. This new situation is an excellent time to go back and point out what are the primary guidelines that reduce the contamination of evidence and increase the protection of practitioners and experts during their work. Some evident principles that exist during crime scene investigation should be used in a more safe environment. The main goal of this article is to show what is the primary indicator that will help to reduce the danger of contamination by Coronavirus Diseases (COVID-19) during the prosecution of work.

Important Evidence

When it is determined that there are or should be traces of blood at the crime scene, it is necessary to take search measures of the crime scene and visualize such traces. The next important step is documenting these clues by description, criminal photography, sketching and video made to make them available for potential additional analysis in the later stages of criminal investigation or criminal procedure. Traces of blood are found in many criminal offenses and can be important evidence. It would be a crucial mean, when combined with the information derived from any DNA analysis, to allow an investigator to corroborate or refute specific investigative theories and subsequent statements offered by suspects, victims, and witnesses. So, the current study aim to clarify the crime scene investigation and reconstruction for detecting bloodstain patterns; specific skills of criminalist for analyzing blood traces; different means for interpreting such traces; blood factor and types as important tools in criminal investigation for blood patterns.
