Forensics
Bloodspatter
What is bloodstain pattern analysis?
• The bloodst ain pat t erns lef t by f alling, proj ect ed or
smeared blood can be analysed by t rained crime scene
invest igat ors.
• Caref ul observat ion and measurement of t he posit ion
and shape of bloodst ains can give lot s of inf ormat ion
about t he direct ion of t ravel, angle of impact and t he
speed or velocit y of t he blood droplet s.
Definition
Through t he examinat ion of
bloodst ains and bloodst ain
pat t erns, in associat ion
wit h knowledge of t he
underpinning sciences, t hey
provide a det erminat ion of
t he physical event s
responsible f or t heir
deposit ion.
Why is it important
in forensics?
• Bloodst ain pat t erns can be used t o prove
or ref ut e a suspect ’s account of what
happened.
• The inf ormat ion f rom t he bloodst ain
pat t erns can possibly be used t o
reconst ruct a crime.
• Bloodst ain pat t ern analysis can t ell us t he
“how” of a crime.
Surface tension
• Surface tension is an upwards force that enables
insects such as a water strider to “walk on water”.
Surface tension
• Surface tension enables blood droplets to
maintain a sphere shape.
Travelling blood droplets
• When a f orce is applied t o a mass of blood, t he blood
breaks int o droplet s.
• The droplet s f ly t hrough t he air as “perf ect ” spheres
due t o surf ace t ension.
Stages of impact
Stage 1: contact & collapse
Stage 2: displacement
Stage 3: dispersion
Stage 4: retraction
Height and size of blood drops
• A blood droplet released f rom a 1m
height will be smaller t han a blood
droplet released f rom a 1.5m height .
• This is because t he velocit y of t he blood
droplet released f rom a higher height is
great er.
Surface and shape of blood drops
Cast-off Bloodstains
Arterial Gushing
Low impact
• Low impact is really blood under the
influence of gravity - it just falls.
Medium impact
• Medium impact occurs when a force such
as a bat is applied.
High impact - fine mist of droplets
Angle of impact
Origin of blood
Reconstructing the crime
• With the evidence that is collected, the crime scene
investigator attempts to reconstruct the crime.
• This involves trying to work out what events happened
and the order that they happened.
