The Forensic Techniques in Crimes Prevention & Resource Directory

 

This is my rendering of a HITEC shoe in USA sizing size 9 mans shoe. I highlighted the sole of my husbands shoe by running a pencil across a piece of paper placed on the sole. The HITEC logo is not really a stamp. It is a raised area on the sole of the shoe. It is applied in a manner that is raised and sits a little lower than the tread on the sole of the shoe.If the shoe were well worn, its possible that the tread may have worn away so that the logo was located at the same level as the tread. The shoe I discuss here is not well worn on the sole. Im lucky as my husband must have walked through something white that has attached itself to small portions of the sole and logo. Well discuss that later.Prints are left outside in dust, dirt, mud, clay, loam and snow. They are normally not left inside unless the donor has tracked something into the house, or unless something that will hold a printlike earth, paint, or bloodhas been spilled. Often by the time the forensic investigator is on the scene, it has been well walkedover by policemen, detectives, witnesses, and onlookers, obscuring the order and meaning of whatever footprints may be found. If this so so, the logic of the crime scene can be used to determine which footprints might be relevant to the crime. A footprint that is overlaid by another footprint or other marking was made earlier than the overlay. By examining each path of footprints the investigator can determine which was the earliest set, by following them, she can possibly find one or more footprints that have not been disturbed.Because a criminal often feels the need to skulk, either in approaching a crime scene or leaving it,a search of the area some distance from the scene and off the more direct approach might be fruitful, especially in suburban or rural settings. It could be that the criminal lurked by a hedge or behind a tree while waiting for the householders to go to bed or to leave the house, or that he approached the crime scene by some back way, not wanting to be seen by passersby on the road. These areas also offer a greater chance of finding footprints that have not been trampled by onlookers or minions of the law. If the criminal was indeed lurking, the criminalist might even find cigarette butts or other physical evidence left by the suspect. In urban crimes it is a good idea to check the roofs of apartment buildings, when accessible, to see if the criminal was lurking up there.A careful examination....of footprints can be used not only for identification but also to tell about the movement of the person who made the print. For example...a walking individual will have a arched appearance; that is the heel and toe are lower than the middle. This is because a person walking puts more pressure on the ground when his foot hits it, and again when it pushes off for the next step, and thus sinks further in the front and the rear. The print of a running foot will sink deeper in front, as a runner tends to put less weight on his heel when he lands.
