Innovators

Crime scene analysts are always trying to find newer, cost efficient ways of gathering evidence.
Some of these methods do differ in their approach to solving problems. For example cyanoacrylate fuming compared to lifting a fingerprint after dusting. They both lead to the same thing, preserving a fingerprint, but in different ways.
Technological innovation is driven by a good economy and people who want to find an better ways to do something. In crime scene analysis, a good example of innovation would be Fingerprinting vs. DNA Fingerprinting to find ways of directly matching a suspect to a crime.
The various processes in crime scene analysis make it possible to provide various services.
Some of these services are:
- Determining Causes of Death -Whether it is murder, homicide or suicide, an analyst will reveal facts that will help rule a death as a murder, homicide, or suicide. This calls into play experts in blood splatter, ballistics and many more.
- Tracking -Analysts can help track down people by studying dirt samples, spores, and more found at a crime scene. This helps catch criminals on the run.
- Identifying the Dead- Analysts can identify the dead through dental records, DNA, fingerprints, and even jewelery found on the body.
