Veterinary Forensic Science: Animal Crime Scenes
June 17-19, 2009
Course Objectives
The Animal Crime Scene workshop focuses upon detection and excavation of animal crime scenes involving surface deposition and burial. Students will attend lectures covering methods for the detection and excavation of a gravesite, as well as mapping techniques for the exhumation of animal remains. Afternoons will be spent in the field at the Austin Cary Forest processing mock crime scenes and excavating gravesites. Appropriate clothing should be worn for summer field conditions in Florida.
This course is designed to demonstrate the proper scene processing techniques for the detection and recovery of physical evidence from cases of animal neglect, cruelty and death. Students will get hands-on experience in the excavation of a gravesite and the exhumation of buried remains. Emphasis will be placed on the collection of associated physical evidence from the crime scene. The proper collection techniques will be demonstrated and students will be expected to implement those techniques throughout the excavation process.
Class size limited to 40 applicants!
