Researchers Develop Insight Into Blood Droplet Behavior for Bloodstain Pattern Analysis
Date Published
June 10, 2018
After analyzing individual blood droplets on inclined surfaces, researchers in this NIJ-funded project said measurements show the current standard method is accurate for drops that hit at right angles but has significant errors at shallow impact angles.
