/in /by

Crime scenes can contain any number of categories of evidence. Most laypeople think of firearms, blood, shattered doors, and bodies. The fact is that anything physical can become evidence if it were used, stolen, or placed at a crime scene. When you look at evidence, many times it is what you dont see that is important.

Identify 3 types of evidence that you typically are unable to see until they are processed.
Identify how these types of evidence are critical in determining the facts concerning the crime scene that help identify what happened and who was involved in the scene at the time of the offense(s).

The polygon

/in /by

In this assignment you are to create specific animations of a polygon.

The polygon should be created using the following technique:

Each vertex is defined by clicking on the window. The final number of sides is determined by clicking on the first vertex a second time.
Once the polygon has been defined, it should be filled in and begin to rotate.
Polygon behavior is determined as follows:

clicking and dragging the polygon translates the polygon within the window
clicking and dragging the polygon while holding the shift key scales the polygon
Clicking the polygon while holding the Alt key reverses the direction of rotation.
As usual you get bonus points for doing interesting things above and beyond the program requirements such as:

allowing multiple polygons
including additional transformations such as shears or reflections,

In this crime scene scenario, there are a number of evidence types that you will need to collect. The crime scene is a single-floor house with a burned-down tool shed in the back. There is a mailbox that appears to have been hit by a car backing out of the driveway. It is 90 degrees (F) with 100% humidity.

The items you will collect include the following:

A vial of liquid blood
Stains on clothing that may be semen
A paper packet containing an unknown powder
Fumes from the shed that was burned to the ground, containing a body (the body will be handled by the medical examiner, not you)
Paint transfer apparently from a vehicle onto the mailbox in front of the crime scene
Hair and fiber found on a hammer with what appears to be dried blood
In a 4-page paper, complete the following:

Describe the methods you would use to pack these items for transport to the lab.
Explain the danger of the evidence degradation due to the environment.
Describe the instrumentation at the lab that might be used to examine the evidence.
