Document Summary
Crime scene investigation: defining a crime scene. Any place where a crime has been committed . Many different ways to classify a crime scene: location of original criminal activity. Primary scene: the site of the original criminal activity. Secondary crime scenes: any subsequent locations (car used to transport body, park where body is dumped) The classification scheme has nothing to do with the relative importance of a scene simply a sequence of location: size of the crime scene. If a crime occurs in a home, that"s a very large area macroscopic crime scene. Entry point, suspected weapon, body might be microscopic crime scene. Overall crime scene (i. e. field, forest, park) might be your macroscopic scene. Microscopic refers to body, evidence on body, evidence around body (footprints) Macroscopic refers to the overall crime scene. Microscopic usually refers to trace evidence but can refer to smaller scenes in the overall crime scene: other. No single definition works for all crime scenes.
