Science spotlight : crime fighting

---

This book includes a heavy page worth of the processes and their importance in every subject that anyone would want to or could want to know. The book talks about fingerprints and all its types of finding and retrieving them to be used in a court case, teeth marks and bites which are underestimated in the crime fighting world because they are just as unique as some one's fingerprint. They talk about the tools they use to find out all the evidence that can possibly be found at every crime scene. The book writes about the certain plants and insects that can be found in a crime scene or even a body can set up a timeline for the crime that had been committed and their had been no witnesses to tell the police officers when the crime took place and what time it had been. Analyzing blood which is a very scientific process which would of never been thought possible decades ago is now one of the biggest forensic tools, next to finger prints, and the process of analyzing blood has probably only gotten more advanced now. Chemical analysis is another useful tool used in forensics. It can help in cases involving anything to poison all the way to another case that has arson involved. Speaking of arson fire and firearms were both discussed in Crime-Fighting. A bullet from a gun is marked very uniquely from every other gun. The markings on the bullet that is shot out of a gun, are the gun's "fingerprints". If the suspect has the same type of gun as the bullet in the crime scene then the police will test that gun, with a warrant of course, and see if the marking both add up, in which case the suspect would most likely be found guilty in a court of law.
