SECTION 1 – SOLVING THE CRIME

MOST DIFFICULT TASK

The questions sessions Many varied questions (useful, useless,

sidetrack) Many people have different POVs Noisy, excited

MOST EASIEST TASK

Problem solving sessions Fun though challenging Look unsolvable but simple Leisure

WHAT WORKED, WHAT DIDN’T?

Worked:

Evidences done at the laboratoryQuite accurateRather a step-by-step sessionTeachers to guide usLearnt many forensic methods there

WHAT WORKED, WHAT DIDN’T?

Didn’t worked:

Questions & HypothesisAsked the wrong questionsMisled by the suspectsThought that only Jane Liu, Peter Hamilton and Robyn Jones were the only possible ones involved with the crime

MEDIA

Not helpful May misled police and public Cause confusion, panic Article was made to seek attention and finish up

the job Facts were wrong and not supported

EVIDENCE

CRIME SOLVING

Harder than it looks

Requires more than evidence

Things do not go as well as you think

Requires quick thinking(Think out of the box)

EVIDENCE

• Locard’s principle

• Might not be enough

• Must be very careful

• Slightest detail must be noticed

• Does not equal to everything

CSI

Different view. Why?

Knowledge of forensics from CSI

More than what is in a television series

What different view?

EXAMPLES

• Finalizing results

• More than what actual crime scene investigators do

FINGERPRINTS

Fingerprints are unique, however…..

Results not correct

Many fingerprints at the crime scene

LIP PRINTS
