The document discusses how forensic science helps solve crimes through bloodstain pattern analysis. Bloodstain evidence can reveal the movement and position of persons or objects during an incident, as well as the sequence of events. Bloodstain pattern analysis is a forensic specialty that applies modern scientific techniques to determine information from bloodstains such as the area of origin of an impact pattern or minimum number of impacts. A basic understanding of blood spatter analysis enables first responders to correctly collect and preserve bloodstain evidence at a crime scene.
