Rough sketch is the first pencil-drawn outline of the scene and location of evidence within this outline. Usually not drawn to the scale. Sketching materials are pencil, paper, measuring tape, ruler, eraser, compass. Finished Sketch —A precise rendering of the crime. Drawn to scale. Not normally completed at the crime scene. Drawn with care and concern for aesthetic appearance. The final sketch should be submitted in court. Searching of crime scene: Searching of the crime scene and collection of the evidences are backbone of a criminal investigation. The primary aim of searching the crime scene is to link the suspect, victim and the scene of crime. A walk through should be done from entry point to exit point. Once walk through is done , the crime scene should be searched systematically. There are different search patterns: Grid Method- It is basically a double line search method. It is a very operational method but time consuming. Line or Strip Method— this method is best in large and outdoor crime scenes. Quadrant or Zone Method— this method is most effective in houses or buildings. Wheel or Ray Method—Wheel or ray method is best on small and circular crime scenes. Spiral Method— it can go internal or external. It is best used when there is no physical barricades are present. The given pictures may help in understanding crime search patterns more effectively
