The live crime scene demo is a second annual event. This year was special because it was the first to include an actual ‘dead body’ complete with realistic wounds applied by theatre students and faculty.
The First Crime Scene Demo
During the demonstration, professors showed students the difference between what they see on television in comparison to what’s happening in real life.

Crime Scene Management by Raul Sutton (Editor); Christopher Moran (Editor); Keith Trueman (Editor)
An established text on common procedures for the identification and processing of evidence at scenes of crimes. Includes forensic handling of mass fatalities, crime scene reconstruction and impact on evidence recovery processes.
The Crime Scene by Marilyn T. Miller; Peter Massey
The Crime Scene: A Visual Guide provides visual instruction on the correct way to process a crime scene. While the primary crime scene comprises the area from which most of the physical evidence is retrieved by crime scene investigators (CSIs), forensic scientists, or law enforcement personnel, this book also covers secondary and often tertiary crime scenes, all locations where there is the potential for the recovery of evidence. By using photographs and other diagrams to show proper and improper procedures, the reader will learn how to identify the correct principles required to process a scene.
