Bloodstains as Evidence Workshop

This program is designed to heighten the awareness of crime scene investigators regarding the value of bloodstain evidence at crime scenes. It has been designed around several educational tasks identified by the International Association for Identification, bloodstain group (SWGSTAIN). This introductory program is suitable for both crime scene technicians and detectives looking to better understand bloodstain evidence and how it may help during incident investigations and reconstruction. The program includes classroom lecture along with practical bloodstain pattern exercises.

The evidence value of bloodstains is not confined to homicide investigations. It plays an important role in any investigation where blood has been shed including unusual deaths, sexual assault, robbery and burglary. Students will learn from actual case studies where bloodstain examination played a role in the successful resolution of that case.
