 INTRODUCTION

The stains, traces, and footprints left on the

crime scene, they are silent witnesses of the act
criminal, so the place of the events
constitutes the main source of information
of the crime, with the bloodstains being one of
the most common evidence at the scenes of
violent crimes.
Because blood behaves according to
with certain scientific principles, the analysts of
bloodstain patterns, can
classify those stains into patterns
recognizable and associate such patterns to
production mechanisms in an orderly manner
particularly, thereby allowing to recreate the sequence
of events that occurred after the
bloodshed.

MATERIAL

We used two pieces of cardstock and divided them into EIGHT parts.

can of red paint.
A weapon.
R
A black marker.
Latex Gloves
Measuring tape.
Carrier.
A vessel for the blood where one can immerse the hand.
Some scissors.
A piece of fabric about 30 x 50.
A towel to dry hands.
A Pasteur pipette.
A syringe.
Shoes.
METHODOLOGY OF PRACTICE
In order to carry out this practice, it was necessary to take 20
class minutes to learn about the 8 types of blood patterns
what we represent in the laboratory, in order to have a
knowledge of how each one is given and the characteristics of
these same ones.
After taking the class, we went to the laboratory where we
gave us some instructions from the teacher to
subsequently begin to carry it out.
We were provided with material to carry out the practice which
consists of:
cardboards
Scissors
Towel and piece of cloth
Markers
Container for making fake blood
Red paint
Syringe
Gathering the necessary material, we proceed to carry out the
practice, which consists of representing the 8 types of patterns
of bloodstains that may be present at a scene
of the crime
First step, divide the cardstock into 4 and then with
help with the scissors to trim it
2. Second step, having already cut the cardstock
proceed with the help of a marker to put on each one the
title of the pattern we are going to represent
3. Third step, prepare the fake blood, to then start
to represent each blood stain pattern
4. Fourth step, start to represent each pattern of
blood stains.
 THE TYPES OF SPOT PATTERNS WERE
NEXT:
By impregnation: they appear when it is impregnated with
blood a fiber, like cloth or foam.
By dragging: They are stains produced on different
support plans and present traces in the form of a wide strip
the rectangular narrow shape means that the victim, now motionless, was
dragged by the perpetrator and according to their direction will indicate
the movement made by him.
By drip: when blood drops are found at the scene.
of a crime, since the stains found usually have a
elliptical shape.
By contact: They are produced by the direct contact of the source.
producer and the support.
For cleaning: Blood stains found at the location of the
investigation, which remain on towels or any other cloth in
that a weapon or surface has been cleaned and it forms by
absorption.
By angle: it will depend on the angle that the blood sprouted from.
By runoff: When the displacement occurs over a
inclined support creates the rut; when the support is
horizontal or has depressions the blood forms pools
By splash: Blood stain resulting from a drop of
blood scattered through the air due to an external force
applied to a source of liquid blood
Once the 8 patterns were identified, we proceeded to take the photo of
evidence
 CONCL
USION
Therefore, it is important to know the patterns of
blood as we saw in this practice, we could
analyze the study of shapes, sizes,
distributions and dispersions of the spots of
blood where it provides us information
such as: the type of weapon used, the number of
blows, the location of the aggressor and the victim
when bloody projections, movements of
people or bloody objects and the chronology
of bloody events.

2 How are bloodstains analyzed?

Nowadays, the Luminol Test and BLUESTAR FORENSIC are the
most commonly used forensic biochemical techniques in forensic investigation
to detect traces of blood at a crime scene
