How is a Crime Scene Solved?

When your house is broken into the first people you call is the police to see if they can figure out who broke into your house and stole your things. The police do many things and there are many positions you can do in the police force.

Firstly the Scene of Crime officers come to the place that was broken in to. They talk to the victim about what has happened before getting walked through the place, when they walk through the place they have to keep their hands in their pockets to make sure they do not disturb anything that might hold evidence. Once they have talked to the victim about what might of happened they carefully start to collect evidence. This could be fingerprints, footprints, pieces of fabric or hair, blood and anything else that might be placed as evidence to finding out who committed the crime.

Next the Scene of Crime officers send the evidence off to the scientist who examines all the evidence very closely to see if there is a match between the suspects and the evidence. How they see who the fingerprints belong to they scan them onto a computer and see if the fingerprints found are the same as the fingerprints taken from suspects.

From there the Detectives take statements from witnesses that heard or saw the crime or something suspicious happen. If there have been no witnesses it makes it more difficult to solve the crime since witnesses are very helpful sources. Detectives also have to interview the Suspects to see if they have been near they had been near the crime scene the day the crime happened. The Detectives ask the suspects many questions such as what were you wearing on this day if there had been a piece of fabric left at the crime scene or where you with a smaller person if there where small finger prints left on something at the crime scene. Detectives also need to get alibi’s from the suspects to see where they say they have been and if they were with anyone.

Lastly the Scene of Crime officers, Scientists and Detectives put together everything they have collected to see who committed the crime. Depending how bad it is they either go to prison or are fined.

**MY LEARNING TARGETS**

My next step in writing is to elaborate on ideas about how or why something happens. You have begun to do this with how the SOC officers walk through the scene, however you need to continue this in other aspects e.g. how the evidence is collected.

I will achieve this by elaborating on how evidence is collected e.g. Finger prints are collected by the SOC officer dusting an area ... They then lift the print by ...

 __What is an Earthquake__

An earthquake is when plates in the earth cross each others paths which causes the ground to shake and move, often leaving all sorts of damage behind. Earthquakes happen all the time and some are so small that you do not notice them.

There are many ranges of sizes and the sizes of earth quakes are put onto a scale called the Richter Scaler. The Richter scale goes up to which causes major destruction to a city or country. The reason an earthquake is measured on a Richter scale is because it is an easier way of telling someone how big an earthquake was.

Big earth quakes can often lead to Tsunami’s. But for this to happen

You have made a general statement at the start. The whole piece is written in present tense and is well written. Also it is in a sensible order. (Rose)

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">There are many different said things about light and what it is. But we all know that light is what allows us to see. Light is a type of radiation called electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is visible to the human eye. This radiation wavelength is also visible to animals eyes.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Light comes in two forms, natural and artificial. The sun and stars are both natural light while light bulbs, torches, and many other man made objects that produce light are artificial.
