Crime Scene Investigation Part One: Philosophy Practice and Science

by Robert C. Shaler

Crime scene investigation is an intellectual, scientific, and forensic investigative exercise. Success requires experience, creative thinking, logic, and the correct application of science and the scientific method. Scene investigations, then, are intensely challenging intellectually. To disagree is ignorance, inexperience, or stupidity. As the legendary golf pro Bobby Jones is credited with saying about his profession, “Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course . . . the space between your ears.” Competent crime scene investigations are as cerebral an exercise as any cientific or investigative endeavor. They are comprehensive, tedious, exhausting, and difficult. They are, in fact, a marriage of science and the art of investigation.
