Reflecting and Research

Top Three Things I learned about Crime Scene Investigators

1.)   The way crime scene investigators are portrayed in popular culture is completely different from the reality of the job.

2.)   It is a very difficult job to do. Not only with the challenge of obtaining evidence and following protocol but also dealing with the negative effects the job has on home life.

3.)   Crime scene investigators have to be team players. At every crime scene there are many people that have specific tasks to perform as well. 

Top Three Things I learned about myself as a Researcher:

1    1.) When it comes to research, it helps me to have a set research question in mind. This allows me to stay focused on what type of information I am looking for.

      2.)  From doing the blog, I know that the Internet is not the only place I can find information at. I actually find it more useful know to get all types of sources like the Internet, Proquest, and the library.

      3.)   I also learned that in doing research I like to structure my findings by author or source now. It helps me be able to cite sources easier.

11.) What are the new technologies investigators hope to use?

22.)  Are crime scene investigators used in the FBI?

33.)  How is crime scene investigators different in different countries?
