Blood droplets travel in all directions in crime scenes
Blood droplets travel in all directions in crime scenes New analysis examines the physics of blood from close-range gunshot wounds. Credit: gsagi / Getty Images Studying a crime scene isn’t easy, especially because blood droplets don’t just fly away from the wound, according to new research. The pattern of blood droplets can reveal a lot of information about a crime scene. Blood pattern analysis (BPA), a field of forensic science, relies on physical and mathematical analyses to understand how blood and other fluids behave in different scenarios. This evidence can be used to reconstruct cr...
