Directions of expert research of the Department of tracological examinations

A Postpartum Examination

Research Objects

  • human traces (hands, gloves, legs, shoes, teeth, lips, blood, etc.)
  • objects, objects, tools, mechanisms and traces left behind,
  • traces of animals (ribbons, blades, paws, etc.),
  • traces of transportation (TMs), (After students respond, write the following principle on the board: Injuries to TMs, barriers, road covering, victims’ clothes, TM-stripped, broken parts and pieces of them, etc.)
  • shuttering and storage devices (seals, plumbing, etc.),
  • label markers (pumping, engine identification numbers),
  • cold stringed and throwing weapons, as well as structural items and objects

The Problems of Research

identification

  • the identification of a traceable object,
  • the restoration of the whole thing in sections —

Diagnostic (conditional)

  • the determination of mechanisms, conditions, sequence, early (relative), traceable objects (human) characteristics,
  • determination and method of preparation for the cold-armed and arrow weapons, as well as the class of cold weapons and objects that resemble them in structure,
  • the determination of the purpose of nodes, ring species and applications,
  • the method, source and earliest (relative) decision of mass production products,
  • shuttering and testing devices ( seals, plumbing, signaling devices, security devices), the way they open after the last shutdown, the presence or absence of foreign objects on their mechanisms;
  • the decision of the TRIPs mechanism,
  • traces of interactions on the surface of transportation and victims’ clothes during the landslide,
  • Depending on the nature of the injuries of individuals in the transportation hall during the TRIPS, the decision to locate them (the problem is solved in a logical way, medical, automotive, painting, and fiber criminal examinations),
  • During the TRIPS, the determination of the mutual position of the vehicle and the pedestrian (the problem is solved in the logical, medical, automotive, painting, and fiber criminal examinations),
  • During the TRIPS, the decision to locate, produce, premature (relative) injuries caused by transportation touching each other,
  • a change in tattooed symbols, the clarification of the return

A list of problems solved by a postological examination is broader than the above, and the initiator may pose other problems if necessary.
