Why do you think forensic scientists are so careful that the tests they do are sensitive, reproducible, and specific? What might happen if they were less careful about this? They have to be careful to ensure as much accuracy as possible. If they were less careful, evidence may get corrupted and be unusable for the investigation, which could end up stopping the investigation or slowing it down
Which type of evidence do you think is most useful in an investigation? Why? I think that physical evidence is the most useful in an investigation because it is something you can clearly hold and see, there is little questioning and there is no grey area about it.
Why do you think forensic scientists continue to look for class characteristics given their limitations? Physical evidence would probably be most important because it is the best way to connect someone directly with that crime.
What do you think would be some of the challenges in collecting and preserving impressions? Why? Some of the greatest challenges in collecting and keeping the impressions safe would be to get everything together and exact and to make sure you keep the evidence good and collect everything you can find from one object.
If you were on a jury, do you think you would expect individual characteristics in the evidence? Why or why not? What effects might it have if individuals expect to have individual characteristics presented? If I was on a jury, I would not expect individual characteristics in the evidence because in every case it is not guaranteed to be found. If individuals expect to have individual characteristics presented, they will be disappointed and may find that the case as a whole is lacking evidence completely.
