Forensics Case Study Summary

An article was titled Giving Faces to the Lost by Angela Libal. The title has two different meanings; a figurative meaning and a literal meaning. The figurative meaning of the title Giving Faces to the Lost is when forensic anthropologists give an identity to a victim. They find out the age, race, gender,etc.

“Forensic anthropologist usually works in three broad categories,” said Texas State professor Jerry Melbye.” A Forensic Anthropologist help examine a human skeletal or decomposed remains in a legal setting to establish the identity of an unknown individual and to help determine the cause of death. A Forensic Anthropology work to find the individual that was murdered or was a homicide. They need to find the biological profile of that person.

Student, Loobeek, sets out to discover the different waves of feminism and determines which one is most pertinent to The Hunger Games movie trilogy. Loobeek states that there are three waves of feminism, the first, second, and third. The author states that the first-wave concerns women obtaining equal rights, as men have. The second-wave focuses on female-only rights, like abortion and objectification of the female body. The third-wave is inclusive to women of all religions, ethnicities, and sexual orientations, and it focuses on the woman’s sexuality and her right to display it.

Bone Detective Formal Report Sophia Dominguez Introduction:The skeletal remains of the victim was found in a park lying next to another set of remains. Only the skull, pelvis, humerus, and tibia were found. Summary of findings: In determining the sex of the victim, the pelvis was very circular and wide. Also, the sub-pubic angle was greater than 90 degrees, thus indicating she was a female.

Jeffrey Moldowan and Michael Cristini, two men from Macomb County, Michigan, went on trial accused of rape and assault. The primary evidence against them consisted of the victim’s eyewitness identification and bite mark analysis by two dentists. Both dentists testified that the bite marks on the woman’s body matched the teeth of Cristini and Moldowan. One of those dentists, Allan Warnick, testified that the likelihood a bite mark on the female victim was made by someone other than Moldowan, “was at least 3 million to 1.” Later, the other dentist, Dr. Pamela Hammel recanted her testimony, saying that she had been uncertain that either defendant had in fact been responsible for the bite marks.

career journal activity: 1.2.3 Bone Detectives description: read interviews with forensic anthropologist and synthesize a definition of the career. my work: A forensic anthropologist is a group of people who investigate a dead body to discover its gender, ancestry, stature, ethnicity and other unique features about it. Through their investigations they can also discover how the victim may have died and other important background information that can move the investigation further in solving the case. A forensic anthropologist needs to be able to conduct research, know their bones, muscles and other body parts along with be able to make educated conclusions related to the received data and observations they find and make. activity: forensic anthropologist

Hoagland uses stereotypes such as “big black girl from Alabama, cornrowed hair and Zulu bangles on her arms, some outrageous name like Vondella Aphrodite” (10-12), “little European blonde” (9) and “because she was one of my kind, my tribe, with her pale eyes and thin lips” (26-27) to disclose race, and the preconceived notion of stereotypes. Race is an individual’s physical attributes. One’s identity is predetermined by what society feels is best fit. When Hoagland states, “big black girl from Alabama, cornrowed hair and Zulu bangles on her arms, some outrageous name like Vondella Aphrodite” (10-12), he is using the preconceived stereotypes that every African-American girl has “complicated hair” (21) and usually have a bigger body complex from eating unhealthy foods. These unhealthy foods include but are not limited to fried foods such as fried chicken and other items that make up the southern cuisine.

Case Report Forensic Odentology Ted Bundy Case Submitted by Muhammad Imran 15004254004 Submitted to Dr. Nouman Rasool University Of Management And Technology, Lahore Ted Bundy Case In this case study I have focused on Ted Bundy’s case, the most dangerous serial killer of his time at U.S.A. His case is solved through Forensic Odentology and is very famous case. His victims are mostly young and adult females. At the beginning of late 1970s he was considered as highly intelligent but cruel man that involve in murdering of females. He kill approximately 35 females but the exact number of his victims are not exactly known.

Often the central issues a forensic investigator looks upon are as follows; • Time in medico legal death investigation is considered estimating weather the events occurred in anti/ peri/ post mortem interval. • As a consequence of forensics, it focuses on the most proximal period of carcass transformation, the usual emphasis in taphonomy on skeletons and their post mortem changes have been broadened to include soft tissue changes which are part of decomposition and differential preservation, qualitative difference in dynamics of cause and manner of death. • Forensic investigator focuses on the biology of an individual as unit of analysis. • Studies the primary changes that occur in body to define the qualitative alterations. • It helps the law enforcement to know what have happened to somebody.

3. This research paper was prepared by Lauren A. Silverio under the direction of Dr. John M. Ritz, Old Dominion University and investigated whether wearing makeup affected woman’s self image or not. The sample population only consisted of female students chosen from two separate departments, “The Fashion Industry” and “Technology and the World”. These samples were chosen after observing student body and going for courses that provided overall range of students.

The 4-card task 1. A situation where we think logically would be that dinosaurs exist. You can say it 's logical that dinosaurs exist because they 're are bones and fossils that support the evidence, as well as our technology that can access the time period with carbon dating. 2. My mom had knee and back surgery it 's logical to think that she 's not in a good shape to work like before.

Avery fought several times for an appeal, but each time was denied. Fortunately for Avery, a petition for DNA testing was granted in 1995 and showed that scrapings taken of Beernsten’s fingernails contained the DNA of an unknown person. The tests were unable to eliminate Avery, however, and a movement for a new trial was denied. In April of 2002, attorneys for the Wisconsin Innocence Project obtained a court order for DNA testing of 13 hairs recovered from Beernsten at the time of the crime. The state crime laboratory reported that, using the FBI DNA database, it had linked a hair to Gregory Allen, a convicted felon who bore a striking resemblance to Avery.

They also found that the teeth appeared to have been filed down and the front part of the jaw was broken off. Apart from that, the stains on the bones were shown to have been made. To this day, we have not discovered who was behind the Piltdown man Hoax. National pride all but blinded some of the scientist in that era but some also fell victims of groupthink and conformation

As my team and I discovered a new fossil in our excavation project, the unknown site yielded the skull of a mysterious specimen. Our goal as reputable anthropologist was to analyze the specimen to the best of our ability so our team can provide the most probable and reliable taxonomic identification. In order for us to effectively interpret the results our experiment yielded, we needed to review our knowledge in human evolution. The field that uncovers the mystery of the evolution of humans is paleoanthropology, the study of human evolution through the fossil record.

In 2011, Peggy Orenstein published Cinderella Ate My Daughter to examine how princess culture impacted girlhood. “What Makes Girls Girls?” is a chapter in this book that delves into the implications of sexual difference and whether or not it is rooted in biology. By studying various research projects conducted by professionals, Orenstein discovers that, ultimately, a child’s environment plays a key role in behavior. To pose the question of whether the concept of gender is inherent, Orenstein references several examples that have sparked a considerable amount of discussion about how a child’s gender expression is molded by upbringing.
