Abstract:
Blood spatter analysis plays a prominent role in forensic investigations that shed light on the very dynamics of violent crimes. This review discusses the basic principles, techniques, and prospective applications of blood spatter analysis in forensic science. It examines the main factors affecting blood spatter patterns, including the nature of the force applied, the angle of impact, and the character of the surface onto which the blood is deposited. The paper discusses various analytical methods, such as mathematical modelling, chemical techniques, photographic documentation, and the use of specialized software, alongside the challenges faced in interpreting complex blood spatter evidence. Moreover, the review addresses advancements in the field, highlighting technological innovations like 3D reconstruction and the integration of blood spatter analysis with other forensic disciplines. It explains about the recent advances and innovations and the development of new imaging tools to interpret blood spatter; potential advances that are needed. Finally, the paper emphasizes the importance of standardized protocols and the need for continued research to enhance the reliability and accuracy of blood spatter interpretation in criminal investigations.
