The death investigation is set apart from all other crime scenes not because the scene itself is different (other than the likely presence of a dead body) but because of how seriously the criminal justice system, and in fact, society itself, takes human life. As you read through the required materials for this week, you will discover that there are special issues that exist with regard to death investigation crime scenes. Using the required readings for this week and two additional credible sources related to death investigation crime scenes from the Ashford University Library (or another resource for finding credible sources), identify and discuss the special crime scene issues involved with a death investigation.
Include the following elements in your initial post:
- Briefly explain all the special crime scene issues involved with a death investigation.
- Discuss how the special crime scene issues involved with a death investigation are typically dealt with.
- Suggest whether there are alternative ways of dealing with these special crime scene issues.
