how would you collect and preserve various stages of insects

eggs- half preserved in 75% alcohol and 50% isopropyl alcohol. Rest should ve placed in a vial w/ a damp tissue to prevent tissue paper. more than a few hours than beef liver with tissue or sawdust maggots- note size and temp, take soil as marker, emerge half in 70% alcohol and 50% isopropyl alcohol. sample =100 pupae- paper towel over vial with a pice of tissue slightly moistened. Do not preserve adult flies- collected by net or inverted vial bettles- place with some air, only feed if more than 24hrs before seeing entomologist

methadone

eliminates the addicts desire for heroin while producing minimal side effects

spiral search pattern

employs one person. the investigator either moves from an outward boundary inward or a inward boundary outward. Investigator can see evidence but evidence can be missed

wheel or ray search pattern

employs several people moving from the boundary straight toward the center of the scene or from the center straight to the boundary. This method is not preferred

Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)

enhances self awareness and decreases inhibitions. However seizures, muscle breakdown, stroke, kidney failure and cardiovascular system occur with chronic use. Causes damage to the place in the brain responsible for thought and memory.

latent fingerprints

fingerprint made by the deposit of oils and/or perspiration; it is invisible to the naked eye

Amphetamines

group of synthetic drugs that stimulate the central nervous system. Referred to as uppers or speed. Provides a feeling of well being and increased alertness that is followed by decrease in fatigue and a loss of appetite. Ice to make crystal meth. Chronic users experience violent destructive behavior and acute psychosis

schedule II

have a high potential for abuse, a currently accepted medical use or a medical use with severe restrictions, and a potential for severe psychological or physical dependence. Drugs include: opium, its derivatives not listed in schedule I, cocaine; methadone, phencyclidine (PCP), barbituates, amphetamines, pentobarbitol, marijuana

Schedule Iv

have a low potential for abuse relative to schedule III drugs and have a current medical use in the U.S. Their abuse may lead to limited dependence relative to schedule III drugs. Drugs include: propoxyphene, phenobarbitol, and tranquilizers such as meprobamate, diazepam, and chlordiazepoxide

schedule III

have less potential for abuse than those in schedule I and II, a currently accepted medical use in the U.S and a potential for low or moderate physical dependence or high psychological dependence. Drugs include: all barbiturate preparation (except phenobarbital) not covered under schedule II. , codiene preparations, and anabolic steroids

grayscale images

images composed of only black and white elements (ranges from 0 (black) to 255 (white))

U.S v. Byron C. Mitchell

judge upheld the admissability of fingerprints as scientific evidence and ruled that (1) human friction ridges are unique and permanent and (2) human friction ridge skin arrangements are unique and permanent

Calvin Goddard

made a system to determine whether a particular gun has fired a bullet from a particular weapon

heroin

made by reacting morphine with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride. heroin produces a high that is accompanied by drowsiness and a deep sense of well-being; however the effect is short generally lasting only three or four hours

Phenocyclidine

often mixed with other drugs and is a solid powder, capsule or tablet or a liquid sprayed on plant leaves. First experiences include feelings of strength and invulnerability, along with a dreamy sense of detachment. Later responses include unresponsiveness, confusion, agitation, depression, irraitibility, etc.

strip or line search pattern

one or two investigators start at the boundary at one end of the scene and walk straight across to the other side. Continue the pattern further down the line. Best used for well established boundaries.

forensic

pertaining to, connected with, or used in court of law or public discussion and debate- adapted or suited to argumentation; rhetorical

physical dependence

physiological need for a drug that has been brought about by its regular use. Dependence is characterized by withdrawal sickness when administration of the drug is abruptly stopped.

Marijuana

preparation derived from the plant cannabis; preparation normally consists of crushed leaves mixed in varying proportions with the plant's flower, stem and seed. The plant secretes a sticky resin known as hashish. The resinous material can also be extracted from the plants by soaking in a solvent such as alcohol

Individual characteristics

properties of evidence that can be attributed to a common source with an extremely high degree of certainty

Class characteristics

properties of evidence that can only be associated with a group and never with a single source

Van Urk

reagent turns blue-purple in the presence of LSD.

Van Urk (color test)

reagent turns blue-purple in the presence of LSD.

Barbiutates

referred to as downers because they relax and create a feeling of well being and produce sleep. They suppress the central nervous system.

ridge characteristics (minutiae)

ridge endings, bifurications, enclosures, and other ridge details, which must match in two fingerprints in order for their common origin to be established

schedule V

show low abuse potential, have medical use in the U.S and have less potential for producing dependence than schedule IV drugs. Drugs include: certain opiate drug mixtures and nonnarcotic medicinal ingredients

Designer drugs

substances that are chemically related to some controlled drugs and are pharmacologically potent

LSD

synthesized from lysergic acid, a substance derived from ergot, which is a type of fungus that attacks certain grasses and grains; very potent—25 micrograms can cause vivid hallcucinations lasting 12 hours; causes mood changes such as laughing to instant crying, anxiety, and tension. User may be prone to flashbacks and psychotic reactions even after use is discontinued

anthropometry

system of identification of individuals by measurement of parts of the body developed by Alphonese Bertellon. the use of anthropometry as a method of identification rested on the premise that the dimensions of the human bone system remained fixed from age 20 until death

Oxycontin

the active ingredient is oxycodone, a synthetic closely related to morphine and heroin in its chemical structure. It is an analgesic narcotic that has a similar effect to those of heroin

grid search pattern

the grid method employs two people performing line searches that originate from adjacent coroners and form perpendicular lines. This method is thorough but te boundaries must be well established

Reconstruction

the method used to support a likely sequence of events by the observation and evaluation of physical evidence, as well as statements made by those involved with the incident

Identification

the process of determining a substance's physical or chemical identity. Drug analysis, species determination, and explosive residue analysis are typical examples of this undertaking in a forensic setting

marquis

the reagent turns purple in the presence of heroin and morphine and most opium derivates, May become orange-brown when mixed with amphetamins and methamphetamines

marquis (color test)

the reagent turns purple in the presence of heroin and morphine and most opium derivates, May become orange-brown when mixed with amphetamins and methamphetamines

Criminalistics

the science dealing with the detection of crime and the apprehension of criminals - derived from the German "Kriminalistic" - coined in early 1900's to attempt to better describe the emerging discipline of "police science".
