Post-mortem photography was, and still is, seen as a psychologically unhealthy practice, even when such photographs are historical documentations. Photographs taken during the liberation of concentration camps in the 1940's happen to be some of the most controversial, yet they are crucial to remembering the great tradgedy. Some opponents against post-mortem photography believe that atrocity photographs taken from the Holocaust should be hidden from view as they do nothing to honor the memory of the
Virtopsy started as a research project in 2000, with the hypothesis that non-invasive imaging might predict autopsy findings and maybe give additional information at the Institutes of Forensic Medicine and of Diagnostic Radiology of the University of Bern, Switzerland. The term virtopsy is derives from the words ‘virtual’ and ‘autopsy’. The former comes from the Latin word ‘virtus’, which means useful, efficient, and good. The word ‘autopsy’ is a combination of the classical Greek terms ‘autos’ (self)
machine. French philosopher Rene Descartes extensively argued in his animal-machine theory that the human body did also function like an automaton, much like an animal’s body, with replaceable parts to cater and adapt to malfunctions. Through art and photography, this reflection about the essential role of the human body eventually manifested itself. The idea of focusing on the body as a main object (hence objectification) or focus point in a photograph started in paintings long before the invention of

(6)Photography is used so much in police investigations now and the Jack the ripper case has made a huge impact in crime scene photography, as it shows how useful it is.(7)I think this case had an impact but not very big one because there are so many other impacts the Jack the ripper case had made and compared to things like communication and forensic science , photography wouldn’t be thought to be as big as the other
identity. With his stylistic choices, the “portraits” present death and the way we think of death in a new light. Serrano, though, is not striving to portray the “life in death,” but rather tackling a new way for us to see death and life. Unlike post-mortem photography of the 19th and early 20th century, Serrano strives to keep the anonymity of the subject, stripping their identity. He leaves nothing distinguishable except for the titles that include the causes of death. These titles allow the viewer to
Edmond Locard, from 1877 to 1966. Deputy Coroner Bucklin then determined the cause of death. The cause of death was signs of manual strangulation and post-mortem mutilation along with evidence of excoriation while the victim was still alive. Fortunately, the California Court of Appeals upheld the admissibility of bite mark photographs when utilized for comparison by a forensic odontologist, as Scott (1969)
As long as people have been attempting to solve crime, forensic science has been involved in some form or another. Whether it has been through deductive reasoning or modern day science, evidence must be processed and understood in order to accurately depict what truly happened. Forensics is the use of science under a legal aspect (“Forensics”), meaning that the findings are to be presented in court upon the time of trial. More often than not these cases will involve murder and a conviction of the
1880s the police force were very much in its infancy, such things as forensics, DNA, finger printing were not available at that time. The only tools available to the police were very primitive; in fact, the only tools were post mortems, door-to-door enquiries, photography (which was extremely basic) and having witnesses. The police was only really set up for crime prevention. Other problems faced was the fact that the police were seen as favouring the middle class, Because of the bloody Sunday
The criminal investigation process starts at the initial crime scene with the first responders. The instigation of a crime scene includes the distribution of officers to an incident after they have been informed of a crime. These officers are called the first responders which consist of police officers, paramedics and firefighters. Investigations into Felonies(serious crimes) usually have three key stages: 1. Instigation and initial response – This involves the dispatch of officers to an incident
BERNAMA: ACase Study Generally, a group can be defined as more individuals that are connected to each other by social relationship (Forsyth, 2006). Something should be noted that, most of organisations are consist of several people who work together in particular situations and times (Gordon, 2001).

Most of her works, whether it be; music, photography, film making or film producing was considered as “classical” pop culture since it was in that time period (BILLEN, ANDREW). “People say that she used to look out her bedroom window at the tall RKO Studios sign and think, “My mother used to work
The Role of Public Service Discipline: In Debra Gray’s book: BTEC National Public Service (uniformed) Book 1: discipline is described as obedience to authority. Discipline is necessary in all of the Public Services as it moulds people’s behaviour.
