I enjoyed everything about the criminal investigation but the three things that I enjoyed the most was looking at the stages of human decomposition it was an exciting thing to see how in different climates and areas affect the way the body decomposes over time. Also, the different ways it dries out of if worms start to form how big are the worms or how old all this can lead u to figuring out how much time a body is sitting on that place. Another way of finding how old the body is by looking at the skin texture if it was submerged under water for a while the skin is almost white soft and swelled. If the body was in the sun for a while the skin is more dry kind of mummy like.
The second thing I enjoyed was the mock homicide crime scene because I learned a lot from it. I learned how to mark evidence what sorts of evidence appear in a crime scene. I got to see kind how a crime scene looks with fake dummy and evidence marks all over the room. There was blood spatter on the room floor and on the victims. This helps to see how the blood was laying and determine the way they killed the victim. Also there was a lot of fingerprint evidence and DNA we could use to see how many people were involved n who they were.
Lastly the third part of this investigation was the Autopsy videos we watched in class. It was amazing to see how the dead bodies carefully opened up and analyzed to see what the cause of death was. The most interesting part of it was how they get to the brain the carefully cut through the scalp and pull it forward to cut the scull and retrieve the brain. It is fascinating how the brain looks and the components it has and the way they put everything back together and sow it back up. This course has showed me a lot and I think it is very helpful to know these things for future use you never know I might run into a situation that requires this skills.
