ABSTRACT
An Introduction to Crime Scene Reconstruction and Analysis At the beginning of this book, we indicated that bloodstain pattern analysts are reconstructing crimes. They may concentrate on only one aspect of crime scene reconstruction, but it is impossible to act as a bloodstain pattern analyst and not foray into the world of crime scene analysis. For this reason, it is important that all bloodstain pattern analysts understand the tenets of crime scene analysis and reconstruction. They may not choose to pursue a full-scale crime scene analysis, but they should understand how a full-scale analysis is accomplished.
