Hair and Textile Fibers

Human hair and textile fiber examination is a valuable form of physical evidence that can assist in criminal investigations. Hair and fibers are likely to transfer between victims and suspects during crimes like rape, murder or assault. Hairs are resistant to decomposition and can remain intact long after fingerprints are destroyed, making them useful for identification. The document outlines learning objectives and outcomes for identifying the parts of human hair, distinguishing it from animal hair, and analyzing different tests used to identify fiber evidence.

TITLE HAIR AND TEXTILE FIBER

INTRODUCTION Hair examination is one of the oldest forms of physical evidence.


Its use is older than fingerprints. It is valuable because the hair of
each kind of animal is different and distinct from each other.
Like fiber it is mostly likely to be involved in contact between
the victim and the suspect. Most crimes cause contact between
one person to another and there maybe transfer of fibers and
hairs from the victim to the criminal and vice-versa. The
successful investigation of crimes of violence such as rape,
murder, assault, kidnapping, hit-and run and etc. are frequently
materially assisted by the result of the examination of the hairs
and fibers.cHairs are very resistant to decomposition and
putrefaction thus,cthey often remain as a means of identification
long after others such as facial and fingerprints have been
destroyed.
LEARNING  Identify the parts of human hair and haif shaft.
OBJECTIVES  Distinguish human hair from animal hair.
 Identify the sources of hair evidence and textiles.
 Study the fiber and different tests in identifying the kind of
fiber.
 Enumerate the classes of fiber and fabric.
LEARNING OUTCOMES  Describe the significant role of human hair as evidence.
 Show the signicant role of hair and fiber as evidence.
 Analyze and interpret the different tests in the identification
of fibers.
 Apply their knowledge on how to undergo with the different
tests of hair and textiles.
 Define “fiber transfer and persistence”
