Association for Crime Scene Reconstruction


Hello to you all
I apologize for the lack of fresh posts..but here there´s another one.
I would like to share with you the Association of Crime Scene Reconstruction and its website.

The goals of this Association are:
To encourage the exchange of information and procedures useful in the reconstruction of crime scenes.
To stimulate research and develop new and/or improved methods of crime scene reconstruction.
To promote the improvement of professional expertise of persons working in the field through education and training seminars.
To provide the opportunity for members to consult with their peers on cases.
To publish a newsletter for the distribution of information relating to the Association and to crime scene reconstruction.
To promote cooperation and communication between agencies, disciplines, and members of the Association.
To provide members with access to experts within the various disciplines within the Association membership.
To provide the membership with a current roster of members listing their agency, address, phone numbers, responsibilities, and area of expertise.” *


Because crime scene professionals can always benefit from sharing information and experiences and as I think there are no two crime scenes alike, there´s a constant need to be updated.

Here is the Website:

Sudan´s Mass Graves found

In images provided by George´s Clooney satellite mass graves were identified..
These mass graves apparently result from confronts in Sudan, between the army and a rebel group.
In the image we can spot three areas, that could be consistent with these informations.
Any expert in aerial imagery?

Fight Traffiking of Human Beings

Here I share with you what it seems to be a great project, regarding the issue of Traffiking of Human Beings. The University of Granada (José Lorente) conceived an "international project for genetic identification of missing children and their families" established in 2004.
The aim is identify victims and return them to their families.

Some Crime Scene Humour

A little bit of history

I post an article that you may find interesting, just a reminder of the importance of Forensic Anthropology in the human rights domain.
Recovering the bodies of those who are missing , restoring a missing identitiy, giving a voice to human remains, helping the relatives of those to grief is an important mission.
Clyde Snow was a pioneer in this field and founder of the ARGENTINE FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY TEAM.
