WRITING THE FORENSIC CONCLUSION – AS A COURT EXPERT WITNESS

You need to summarise all the evidence you have collected and all the evaluations you have made

Use this doc – evidence-summary

Then you need to use the evidence and only the evidence to write several paragraphs summarising your findings in the style of a forensic expert witness talking to a court addressing these questions
- what evidence links the suspect – number 6 – to the crime
- how can you be sure of your findings
- what is the most incriminating evidence in your opinion and why you say that
- what couldn’t you say in court and why
- which findings were reliable and unreliable
- what evidence does not seem relevant and why?

WRITING THE POWDER CONCLUSION

You have tested the 2 powders.
The first powder was found at the crime scene, on the floor with a footprint.

The second powder was recovered from the sole of the suspect number 6.
Firstly you need to make sure that all your results are clearly described and easy to follow.
You are now in a position to make a conclusion about
- what is in both powders?
- are both powders the same?
- the evidence that youhave collected that backs up your conclusions
- a statement to say what is not in the powders and why?
You should also make a statement about the problems you had in obtaining valid and reliable evidence in the experiment

INVESTIGATING THE POWDERS!!! CAN YOU PROVE A MATCH

Well today is the start of the last practical.

The aim of this experiment is to see of there is a match between the powder split at the crime scene and also the powder found from the close analysis of the trainer identified by your forensic group earlier this year.

Very simply the police officers want to know if there is match between the two powders.

So today you will be planning a method to identify what is contained in both powders.

Your method will need to contain/explain

- how to carry out a flame test and how you will work out from the flame what is contained

- a risk assessment for the flame test

- how to carry out a sodium hydroxide precipitate test and what can be worked out from this test (HINT iron, copper, calcium ect)

- a risk assessment for this test

- how to carry out a chloride ion test and what can be learnt from this test

- a risk assessment for this test

- how to carry out a sulphate ion test and what can be learnt from this test

- a risk assessment for this test

- how to carry out a carbonate ion test and what can be learnt from this test

- a risk assessment for this test

- how to carry out a glucose test and what can be learnt from this test

- a risk assessment for this test

- A SUITABLE RESULTS CHART

This method will need to be performed twice – once on the powder left at the crime scene and once on the powder left at the main suspect’s shoe.

SOME HELPFUL SITES

MIDLANDS AIR AMBULANCE – A local organization using SCIENCE

The last organization we need to focus on is MIDLAND AIR AMBULANCE.
Their website link is here – MIDLAND AIR AMBULANCE.
Again we need to find the same information about this essential organization as with the other 2.
THAT IS
- the main location of this organization
- the reason for this location – LINK
- what service does the MIDLAND AIR AMBULANCE provide LINK LINK
- what people work for the air ambulance and what do they do LINK
- what scientific training do they have and how is science used in their everyday work
- how do they help community( only do this if you have not done this for JAG or BP BUT you must do it for one of the 3)

The following is information I received from the publicist

What type of people work for the air ambulance service?

County Air Ambulance has two sections. The operational unit called HEMS – Helicopter Emergency Medical Service – comprise of paramedics, doctors and pilots together with helicopter maintenance staff. The Air Ambulance Charity is the fundraising arm of the organisation, employing marketing, media and administration staff.

Jobs requiring / not requiring scientific skills

The operational paramedics and doctors are trained to the highest clinical standards and the pilot and maintenance staff will be licensed to practice. The charity staff will, in the majority of cases, not require the same level of scientific skill level.

Skills & Qualifications
Immediate care doctors with have relevant specialist trauma skills. Paramedics flying on the aircraft are trained to Critical Care Practitioner level, allowing them to deal with many more types of injuries and work with the doctor on more complex procedures.

Air Ambulance locations

County Air Ambulance has three operational bases. RAF Cosford near Wolverhampton; Strensham in Worcestershire and a new base in Staffordshire from 1st April. Each base is located at a strategic point to enable the aircraft to reach patients across our region within 14 minutes.

Area Covered

County Air Ambulance covers:
Shropshire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Birmingham & The Black Country, Gloucestershire.

Service to the community

County Air Ambulance first started operating in 1991 and has flown over 25,000 missions. Each year the three helicopters will fly over 3,500 missions, saving many lives across the region. The cost of supporting the service is £5.6million each year. The charity does not receive any government money or lottery funding. All the money to support the service comes from public donations.

DISCUSSING RISK ASSESSMENT WITH ALLAN – SENIOR TECHNICIAN

YEAR 11 DISCUSSION WITH ALLAN MIDDELTON SENIOR SCIENCE TECHNICIAN

Hi. On the attached picture, you will find a summary of Allan’s discussion with you.
The powerpoint might also help you clarify some things about risk assessment and chemical storage

SAFE WORKING WITH BAM/HBG

Last week we looked at how BAM/HBG maintain safe working practices in the work place.

In addition to the presentation, which was filmed, we were also left with the induction test and also the INDUCTION BOOKLET.

From the video, blog, your notes, and the booklet we need to know the following information

- Who made the presentation and what are their roles in relation to site safety

- What does the booklet say about WASPS, FIRST AID, FIRE PLANS, MANUAL HANDLING, TOOLBOX TALKS, SITE RULES? Summarize each of these sections in 3 – 4 lines.

- From the video makes notes about what Colin says about CDM AND WASPS

Use the link below to find out more information about

CDM
bam construction uk
- what did John say about induction and about clearance to work
- what did the other Gentleman say about manual handling
– you may also want to look at the following document
bam-health-and-safety

To make this into a grade A piece of work you now need to
- find similarities between BAM and how the school works in relation to safety – fire, first aid etc
- you should also think about the differences as well, explaining why you think they are exist
- also compare the safety in BAM with BP inTangguh. What can similarities and differences you find out?

FOOTPRINT ANALYSIS

In this test you had to match the footprint left in the crime scene with shoes of suspects.
In this task you have
- state the aim
- state the equipment you need
- a plan
- safety and risk assessment
- analysis of the shoe sole impressions with the print found at the crime scene
- justified conclusion
- discussion of the limitations of this test
- comparison with how professional forensic officers carry out this test, highlighting the similarities and differences

Analyzing fibres

In this part of the investigation, you had to complete 2 tasks
The first was plan and carry out an investigation into which fibre collected from 10 suspects was a match if any to the fibre found at the scene of the crime.
The second task was then to use photos and see if you could find a match for the fibres.
FIRST TASK
In this experiment you used microscopes to view and describe the fibres. This work should have included
- an aim
- equipment list
- a plan
- risk and safety assessment
- completed results table
- justified conclusions
- a description of the problems encountered with this test

SECOND TASK
In this task you need to view photos of the fibres and find the best match between suspects’ fibres from clothes and the one recovered from the crime scene.
This task should be word file containing
- an aim
- a picture of the crime scene fibre
- a picture of the fibre that best matches the SOC fibre
- a justified explanation for this choice
- a comparison of the 2 methods, where you identify which method allowed you to make the best judgement with the most reliablility.
- there should also be a paragraph comparing how we performed fibre analysis with how the profressionals do this test. To do this, look at the information below

- the aim
- equipment
- plan
- risk assessment and safety
- measurement results
- calculations for Rf values and desciptions
- conclusions if you think there is a match and why
- evidence that you have reliable results
- an evaluation where you recommend any improvements to our method
