This is a forensic assignment that has no word limit. Nor does it require any references. So please can you keep the essay as short but concise as possible including ALL the key points asked.
Select a single evidence type (eg DNA, fingerprints, fibres etc) and critically appraise your chosen evidence type's potential to provide intelligence information at the initial stages of an investigation and subsequently provide evidential value for use at Court.
Your answer should consider the time and cost restraints placed on your chosen evidence type and you should relate this to particular crime types. Your answer should cover the potential intelligence and ultimately evidential value perceived by the differing users/recipients of forensic evidence and how this is achieved and demonstrated.
