1 CC 307 FORENSIC INVESTIGATION WINTER 2013 MID-TERM EXAMINATION STUDY GUIDE The following readings are included on the mid-term examination: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Securing and Searching the Crime Scene Chapter 3: Recording the Crime Scene Chapter 4: Collection of Crime Scene Evidence Chapter 5: Physical Evidence Chapter 7: Crime Scene Reconstruction Chapter 13: Trace Evidence I Hairs & Fibers Chapter 14: Trace Evidence II Paint *, Glass, and Soil * NOTE: WE DID NOT COVER PAINT EVIDENCE IN CLASS SO THIS MATERIAL WILL NOT BE INCLUDED ON THE MIDTERM. The exam will consist of: PART 1: MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (30 QUESTIONS, 30 MARKS) PART 2: SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS (4 QUESTIONS, 20 MARKS) TOTAL: OUT OF 50 MARKS The mid-term examination is scheduled for Feb. 11 th, pm to 2pm You will have 2 hours to complete the mid-term examination and it will be worth 30% of your final grade for the course. The exam will run from 12pm to 2pm. The mid-term examination will be in the same classroom as the lectures. You are expected to be familiar with all material covered in the course up to the mid-term this includes material from the readings that were not discussed in the lecture, and vice versa. The multiple choice questions will be based on both the readings and the lecture material. The short answer questions will reflect material that was discussed in lecture. There will be four short answer questions on the examination. Each question will be worth a different amount of marks. Carefully read what the questions is asking for and note the grade value of each question. You may answer the questions in point-form, but be certain to provide a complete answer in order to receive full marks. The short answer questions will be drawn from the pool of sample question included in this study guide. 1

Briefly describe how you would collect and preserve this piece of evidence. 6. Define crime scene reconstruction. Compare and contrast two approaches to crime scene reconstruction, deductive and inductive reasoning. Provide an example of each. 7. Compare and contrast class and individual characteristics of evidence. Provide an example of each. 8. You are investigating a break and enter at a residential home and determine that the primary point of entry was through a window, which was broken. A suspect is taken into custody; you find fragments of glass on his pants. Identify and describe two approaches to determine if the glass substance found on your suspect matches glass from the crime scene. 9. Dr. Welsh claims students threw two stones through his living room window. By analyzing patterns in the glass fracture, describe how you would determine the: a. Direction of impact b. Sequence of impact 10. A hair sample is brought into the crime laboratory and you are asked to conduct forensic tests to determine if the hair sample belongs to the victim or the victim s pet, a cat. Describe the forensic procedures you would use to determine the origin of the hair sample. Your answer should include a discussion of the relevant morphological features of hair and their forensic value. 11. A hair sample is brought into the crime laboratory and you are asked to conduct forensic tests to determine if the hair sample found on a suspect matches with a reference hair sample from the crime scene. The suspect is a 16-year-old Caucasian male with bleached blonde hair. Describe the forensic procedures you would use to match the suspect with the 9
10 reference hair sample. Your answer should include a discussion of the relevant morphological features of hair and their forensic value. 12.
