The Use Of Arson Investigation In Forensics
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Every single bit of evidence – no matter how seemingly insignificant – is critical for the forensics team in attempting to determine if and how a crime has occurred. One of the most valuable tools available to help ascertain this information is through an arson investigation, the "study of fire-damaged physical evidence and crime scenes to detect arson" (Carpenter, 1995). The extent to which arson investigations are inherently valuable to forensics is both grand and far-reaching; without their vital contribution, many cases would remain unresolved.
