Goals The aim of this course is to share technical knowledge and experience between the crime scene investigators and the laboratory after the explosion, to contribute to the analysis of the event in the following stages, to know the diagnostic properties of the pressure and physical effects after the explosion, to reach the level of knowledge that can form expert opinions on the effects of the explosion with reconstruction activities.
Course Content The course will be followed through basic explosives information and post-explosion crime scene investigation principles, and each subject will be reinforced by sharing knowledge based on experiences gained from case studies. It is aimed to reach the level of scientific technical knowledge to reach the information that may be the signature of the person who put or made the explosive device, which is the most important activity to be carried out at the scene of the crime scene for the detection of the type of explosive to be carried out in the laboratory, especially regarding the explosive events used for terrorist purposes.
Learning Outcomes 1) To know the fundamentals of explosive materials and explosion.
2) Knows crime scene investigation techniques after explosion.
3) Knows crime scene reconstruction after an explosion.
