Part VI: Footprint Analysis
To start this class experiment off, in my group of four, each person in turn made a footprint in the dirt provided. We then, after each person, took note of the print's length, width, and in the case of the people wearing heeled shoes, depth. The next part was to analyze the print, meaning examining for tread pattern or any other distinguishing features. We also made sure to include time the print was taken, climate, humidity, wind speed and direction, time of last precipitation, and substrate, which in this case was dirt. In my group, since we're all females, we had to borrow the data from a male's print for comparison. Knowing if a print belongs to a male or female would be simple in most cases since the male's was much larger.

Mabye you can metion the uses of footprinting. State why footprinting can be useful in a forensic investigation.
ReplyDeleteDid you think of a woman with very big feet, unlikely but could happen
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brandon, there is always the occasional lady-sasquatch. Perhaps the brand of shoe would be slightly more concrete? Besides, someone could always try to disguise their print by wearing a shoe larger than their shoe size.
