Criminal Justice Students Learn Through Hands on Approach

Students in the Criminal Investigation class have begun their multi-step crime scene project by processing a mock crime scene. 



This is the second year for the project and Dr. Marc Hedrick, the professor of this course, and the one who developed this project last year, feels this project has both practical and academic applications.  

 

Students documented the crime scene through notes about what they observed, as well as through photographs and measurements. Students then used these notes, photos, and measurements to create a to-scale sketch of the crime scene.
