| description | Crime Scene Investigation is the backbone of any criminal investigation. Expert report generated by Crime Scene
Investigators are based on scientific evidence and are reported in a standard form. The content, when published
should be reviewed rigorously by its peers. The expert report is a document detailing out how the investigation
process of a crime scene was performed. The process of collecting and evidence processing do not only entail
identifying, collecting and storing evidences for later analysis but it is a step by step process that is well structured
in a document called Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Crime Scene Investigator. SOP is a complex
document and sometimes overwhelmingly technical for the uninitiated. But if understood, it can be a good guide
for law practitioners to determine if a piece of evidence should be included in a case. This article details out the
SOP which entails groundwork before entering a crime scene, processing of a crime scene and wrapping up of
the crime scene investigation. At each step, this paper will look at how it is adopted in current practices, its
weakness and suggested improvement that should be adopted to ensure a final quality expert report. |
