CMJ 355 Crime Scene Investigation

This is an introductory course which examines the many facets of Crime Scene Investigation, with a strong emphasis on homicide investigations, to include: the processing of a crime scene, the collection, preservation, and collation of forensic evidence, the post mortem examinations of homicide victims, the development of detective leads in searching for suspects, as well as the many law enforcement sub-disciplines associated with scientific forensic examination. This course will examine these modules concurrently with a comprehensive examination of a real-life, unsolved, serial killer cold case, to provide real-world context to the related concepts.
