This continuing education course is intended to provide participants with a more in-depth understanding of the subject of crime scene mapping, previously introduced in Outdoor Crime Scene Reconstruction: Introduction and Overview. Advanced Methods Pt II is a comprehensive examination of the mapping techniques used in outdoor crime scene recovery and reconstruction.

​

This course will be presented by Michael Hochrein and will cover three modules. The first looks at the use of archaeology and geotaphonomy in reconstructing outdoor crime scenes and examines the core principles that are required when using these archaeological tools. The second examines the methods used in outdoor crime scene mapping and includes an informative video training vignette outlining the essential equipment and instruments required when mapping crime scenes. The third module provides a basic overview of remote sensing’s use in crime scene searches and includes a number of exciting case studies that provide examples of necessary remote sensing techniques.

​
