Injury and scene reconstruction is a must as the investigator gains "clear knowledge” of the series of events that surround the commission of the abuse using deductive and inductive reasoning, physical evidence, and other methods to determine how the injury occurred. This workshop will provide investigators with a better understanding of injury and scene reconstruction and some simple, but effective, tools to use such as injury and scene photography, video, play-dough reconstruction, dolls, and other non-traditional means to help recreate and determine the possible cause of injury.
Learning Objectives:
Define and recognize certain types of injuries, such as, burns, bites, bruises, head injuries, abdominal injuries, and fractures
Learning the importance of photographing the victim and crime scene
Learn simple but effective ways of reconstructing soft tissue injuries
