How bloodstain tails can reveal new forensic details
From American Institute of Physics 27/11/23 Forensic science has captured the public imagination by storm, as the profusion of “true crime” media in the last decade or so suggests. By now, most of us know that evidence left at a crime scene, such as blood, can often reveal information that is key to investigating and […]
