Forensic Examination On Forensic Gunshot Residue Analysis

Major project ON FORENSIC GUNSHOT RESIDUE ANALYSIS. SUBMITTED BY : GAURAB SOM B.Sc.(hons)FORENSIC SCIENC (ENROLL NO - A5905913096) Supervision of DR. SHRUTI GUPTA Amity University, Uttar Pradesh Amity institute Of Forensic science (2013-2016) The project was a learning experience for me in terms of accumulation of educational knowledge as human values, as well as co-operation. During this project I felt indebted to a lot of people. I owe a special depth of thank to my guide DR.SHRUTI GUPTA MAM, for his valuable guidance and support throughout my education in AIFS. Presenting a research report of this type is an arduous task demanding a lot of time. I cannot in full measure reciprocate the kindness shown and contribution made by various people in this endeavor. I will remember all of them with gratitude. I must however, especially acknowledgement by indebtness to HOD and Faculty who have been source of continuous guidance and inspiration to me. My Parents encouraged me to do hard work with patience to achieve aim. No words could express my gratitude towards my parents. I am really appreciative to this project to give full study about â€Å"FORENSIC GUNSHOT RESIDUE ANALYSIS† that helped me a lot in completing my summer assignment. 1. WHAT IS GUN SHOT RESIDUES? 2.

It is being used quite often in the real world with police investigations, cases, and is also being magnified in television shows including Forensic Files, CSI, and Bones. Forensic chemistry is important because without it we wouldn’t know the outcome of a crime. The forensic chemist’s job is to examine evidence given to them from a crime scene, when it happened, and even who committed the crime at times. Forensic chemistry deals withRead MoreThe Examination Of Forensic Science1553 Words   |  7 Pagescaptivating and enticing is the idea of forensics. Forensic science is a systematic technique of collecting and investigating evidence about previous events. The idea of forensic science however is a comprehensive discipline and can be fragmented down into numerous classifications. Forensic science can be distributed into such groupings as forensic psychology, forensic anthropology, forensic biology, and even, but not limited to forensic biology. The examination of forensic chemistry is unbelievably beneficialRead MoreTechnology And Science By Law Enforcement1653 Words   |  7 PagesThe National Institute of Justice defines forensic science as, â€Å"the application of science, such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, and engineering to matters of law,† (2014). The emphasis here is the use of technology and science by law enforcement officers and agencies and is accepted and recognized by the criminal justice system. It is seen as scientific technology or Criminalistics, (Dempsey Forst, 2013). While technology plays a role in this, it is most recognized by the useRead MoreEvaluation Of The Possibility Of Differentiation Between Various Types Of Ammunition1082 Words   |  5 Pagesdifferentiation between various types of ammunition by means of GSR examination with SEM-EDX method (2001) This paper assesses the use of a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDX) to analyse gunshot residue (GSR) and determine the type of ammunition used, as well as the gun it was fired from. GSR is the remains of the primer and propellant from the ammunition after a gun is fired. GSR analysis is widely used for a number of issues, such as determining if aRead MoreCrime Scene Report2303 Words   |  10 PagesBody: Gun Shot Residue Analysis - Gunshot residue analysis was performed on samples recovered from the hands of Robert Allen Jones. Numerous particles unique to gunshot residue were identified on these samples. Complete Medico-Legal Autopsy - One small-caliber projectile was recovered from the brain of the deceased. A DNA sample, head hair sample, pubic hair sample, fingernail clippings, and fingerprints were extracted from the victim. Exhibit #2 Pillow 1: Trace Evidence Analysis - Three hairs wereRead MoreReconstruction Of A Crime Scene Through Forensic Investigation2355 Words   |  10 PagesAbstract Each day forensic investigators are introduced to crime scenes with absolutely no idea of how the crime came to be. Forensic science has developed in several ways and with very little information an investigator can interpret the actions of the chain of events in a crime. Forensic investigators have developed a protocol and preferred methods on how to search for evidence, how to gather evidence and last how to document it so that it is ready to be presented in trial. â€Æ' Reconstruction ofRead MoreForensic Ballistics3483 Words   |  14 PagesForensic Ballistics Most of us will have heard the term ballistics at some time or other-more often than not when we have been watching fictionalized accounts of police work on television or in the cinema. When you think of forensics you may think of something like â€Å"The Forensic Files†, â€Å"NCIS†, or even â€Å"Law and Order†. Although, ballistics is a part of forensics first we will look at forensics itself and how it came about. After getting the basics about the foundation in forensics we will look atRead MoreThe Use Of Firearm Investigation On The Examination Of Firearms3417 Words   |  14 PagesSarah Schulteis Professor Papez Intro to Forensic Science 28 March 2015 Firearm Investigation Firearm investigation is a â€Å"specialty of forensic science focusing on the examination of firearms,† (Rankin) and has been around for hundreds of years. One of the earliest recorded cases was of a man shot and killed in 1784 England with a pistol. The police found the wad of paper from the weapon and matched it to a piece of torn newspaper in a suspect’s pocket, sending him to jail (Triple Murder). In modernRead MoreEssay on Trace Evidence1579 Words   |  7 Pagesinclude metal filings, plastic fragments, gunshot residue, glass fragments, feathers, food stains, building materials, lubricants, fingernail scrapings, pollens and spores, cosmetics, chemicals, paper fibers and sawdust, human and animal hairs, plant and vegetable fibers, blood and other body fluids, asphalt or tar, vegetable fats and oils, dusts and other airborne particles, insulation, textile fibers, soot, soils and mineral grains, and explosive residues.
