Forensic Architecture And Their Stark Importance In Modern Investigation

By Olivia Cross


The entirety of a legal proceeding can be complicated. So complicated it is that there are some cases that remains unresolved even after years of investigation. Depending on the gravity of the case and the evidence that is presented, the process could go on for years without before it finds its resolution.

At present, there are a still a number of pending cases that are yet to see the light of a resolution. Thanks to the help of modern technology. Now, analysis of gathered data related to the case is made easier. The method known as forensic architecture is only one of the modes by whichk data are analyzed in a more efficient way to come up with a clearer answers to questions.

One of the processes that it is involved in is property surveying. In cases where an important place is to be investigated, it is vital that the place is secured so that everything stays in tact. No matter how minute the detail is, it can potentially turn the tide of an issue if it proves to be related to any incident. People who work on forensics collect and document all of the things that can prove to be helpful.

Structural engineering is also involved in this. The structure of the place alone can already tell something about the event. How they are made, the quality of the materials used in building the establishment and the like can greatly impact the existing evidence once analysis is done. Needless to say, those who are in charge of doing this are trained engineers who are experts on the field.

Chemistry is also applied especially when dealing with composite materials. There are pieces of evidence which cannot be considered as such unless proper chemical analysis is done. Body liquid for instance like saliva and sweat that are contaminated by certain chemicals has to be examined carefully to understand what went through them.

A lot of the work handled by this department happens after the field work. It is when careful examination and cross referencing of facts that information start to come out. Mind you that this is not a quick tast. Even with all the data at hand, the process can still take time.

The benefit of this method is not only limited to local problems but also to national and international. Bombings on certain aread of importance for instance need to be examined after to identify what kind of explosives used. Countries who do not have all the advanced technology needed for a thorough investigation ask the help of those who have enough knowledge on this area.

The aid that they provide is considered as one with utmost importance, which is exactly the reason why they are created. The entire team is composed of highly skilled individuals capable of doing their job at their best. Together, they are a solid support team to any widescale legal investigation.

With more threats bombarding different countries all over the world, there is a greater need for a more advanced means of solving existing issues. This is vital in order to proceed with other issues. Technology is there to help. We have to use them wisely.
