Answer Key: C
Question 8 of 21 2.0 Points

On the average a contusion that is "yellowish" in color is about how many days old? Answers are to be 3 or 4 sentences.
According to our text, a contusion is the escape of blood into the tissues following the rupture of vessels, usually capillaries, by the application of blunt force. Bruises change in appearance over time, and it is possible to tell by looking at a bruise how old it is. According to our power point slides, when it appears, a bruise is a yellowish color that shows it is approximately 7-14 days old. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition

 
Question 9 of 21 2.0 Points

Define: Blunt Force Injury. Answers are to be 3 or 4 sentences.
According to our power point slides blunt force injuries are injuries produced by blunt impacts which disrupt the integrity of tissues. Tissues can be external (skin) or internal (organs). Blunt force injuries are associated with three manners of death. These manners of death are accidents, homicides, and suicides. Injuries associated with blunt force injuries are classified into two primary groups that help to define the type of injury from trivial to massive in nature, these two primary groups are closed and open. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition

 
Question 10 of 21 2.0 Points

Define: Patterned Abrasion. Be sure to give an example to show your understanding of the term. Answers are to be 3 or 4 sentences.
According to our text and power point slides, A patterned abrasion is an abrasion that may exhibit a pattern and may help identify the weapon that inflicted the injury. There are several objects that may leave a pattern abrasion.  A tire mark or a muzzle imprint of a gun would be considered patterned abrasions. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition

 
Question 11 of 21 2.0 Points

List and explain the five manner's of death.
The five manners of death are Natural, Accidental, Suicide, Homicide, and Undetermined. Natural manner of death would be a death due to natural disease process for example a heart disease. Homicide manner of death is the killing of one human being by the act or omission of another, for example a police officer in performance of his duty kills a suspect, this manner of death would be considered homicide. Suicide would be the deliberate or intentional termination of one's existence for example if one takes one too many pills to end their life. Accident manner of death is an unexpected death which results from a lawful act performed under a reasonable belief that no harm is possible, for example an unintentional fall or collision that results in death. Finally undetermined death is used when the information pointing to one manner of death is more compelling than one or more other competing manners of death when all available information is considered. This is usually an interim classification that indicates a level of uncertainty about the circumstances surrounding death. This classification is usually changed once the results of the autopsy are received. Undetermined is intended for cases in which it is impossible to establish, with reasonable medical certainty, the circumstances of death after a thorough investigation, for example poisoning. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition

 
Question 12 of 21 2.0 Points

Define: Sharp Force Injury. Answers are to be 3 or 4 sentences.
According to our text and power point slides, Sharp force injuries are injuries produced by sharp-edged objects. Basic lesions are incised wound, stab wound, and chop wound. Most sharp force injury deaths are caused by objects whose primary function is not that of an offensive weapon.  For example kitchen knife vs switch blade knife. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition

 
Question 13 of 21 2.0 Points

Define the term: Sudden and Unexpected Death. Answers are to be 3 or 4 sentences.
According to our text clinically unexplained deaths fall into two categories. Those categories are those that occur in patients who have been studied extensively during prolonged, complex illnesses without a satisfactory diagnosis having been established, and those that follow an illness of such brief duration that there has been little or no opportunity for medical observation or studies to provide a reasonable explanation for what has occurred. The more unexpected the death, the more likely it is to be unexplained.  Sudden and unexpected deaths occur in persons with varying medical backgrounds, including those in whom a diagnosis of potentially lethal disease has never been made. The terms sudden and unexpected have different meanings for different people.  It is my understanding that sudden death is a death that occurs unexpectedly and from 1 to 24 hours after the onset of symptoms, with or without known preexisting conditions. References: The Free Dictionary By Farlex, Sudden Death http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/sudden+death   Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition

 
Question 14 of 21 4.0 Points

What is a "stellate" appearing wound? First describe the wound and, secondly, provide an example of what might cause a wound of this type. Keep in mind, there are more than one example of an instrument that would create a stellate wound.
According to the book gunshot wounds: Practical Aspects of Firearms, Ballistics, and Forensic Techniques, Second Edition by Vincent J.M. Di Maio, contact wounds in regions of the body where only a thin layer of skin and subcutaneous tissues overlies bone usually have a stellate or cruciform appearance that is totally unlike the round or oval perforating wounds seen in other areas. The most common area in which stellate wounds occur is the head. The unusual appearance of contact wounds over bone is due to the effects of the gas of discharge. When a weapon is fired, the gases produced by the combustion of the propellant emerge from the barrel in a highly compressed state. In hard contact wounds, they follow the bullet through the skin into the subcutaneous tissue where they immediately begin to expand. Where a thin layer of skin overlies bone, as in the head, these gases expand between the skin and the outer table of the skull, lifting up and ballooning out the skin. If stretching exceeds the elasticity of the skin, it will tear. These tears radiate from the entrance, producing a stellate or cruciform appearing wound of entrance.   Some contact wounds over bone, instead of the classical stellate or cruciform wound, one finds a very large circular wound with ragged, blackened, and seared margins. This type of wound is more common with the less powerful calibers such as the .32 ACP or .380 ACP. Stellate entrance wounds can occur in individuals shot at intermediate or distant range, where gas plays no role in the production of a wound.  An example of what might cause a wound of this type would be a shot to the temple from a .38 special revolver. A tangential gunshot wound of the face may simulate a stellate contact wound as well.

Question 15 of 21 4.0 Points

Describe tissue "bridging," and provide an example to show your understanding of the term.
According to the website ADA County, Coroner Investigations (2009) http://www.adaweb.net/Coroner/CoronerInvestigations/2009Archive/October2009.aspx Lacerations are skin splits caused by blunt force blows. They can be quite irregular or   linear depending on the configuration of the blunt instrument used. They are readily distinguished from incised wounds by examination. Lacerations have tissue bridges which are slender strands of tissue extending from side to side at the base and edges of the injury. Injuries caused by knives have edges and margins. Tissue bridging is not present in incised injuries. References: ADA County, Coroner Investigations (2009) http://www.adaweb.net/Coroner/CoronerInvestigations/2009Archive/October2009.aspx  

 
Question 16 of 21 5.0 Points

How might we distinguish between homicidal and suicidal incised wounds of the neck? Clearly explain the differences.
According to our text suicidal stabbings are frequently accompanied by superficial, hesitation type cuts predominately situated in the wrists and front of the neck, less commonly in the bend of the elbows or on the ankles. Single or grouped superficial stab wounds below the chin are more likely the result of taunting in a case of homicide. The appearance of suicidal cuts is usually characteristic, they are multiple and parallel of variable depth whose edges commonly reveal several sharp angles, as if resulting from sawing of the skin, with repeated tentative incisions at the same location. Frequently numerous superficial, parallel cuts and scratches indicate repeated trials before the build up of sufficient courage for the final deep gash that severs major blood vessels or exposes the trachea or larynx. Such superficial cuts, or evidence of sawing, are referred to as hesitation wounds or hesitation marks. These cuts are mostly straight because sharp knives and razor blades are used. Suicidal cuts with a straight razor are unusual, except in older individuals, because the decreased popularity of this type of shaving device. Sometimes suicidal cuts are jagged and irregular, as when a piece of broken glass is used. Most homicidal throat slashings are produced with the assailant behind the victim. In this position a slash of the neck would run from left to right, if the assailant is right handed, and in the opposite direction if he is left handed. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition  

 
Question 17 of 21 5.0 Points

How does a stab wound differ from an incision? Be sure to define both, provide examples and show your understanding of the terms. One sentence is not an efficient answer.
An incised wound is an injury caused by sharp edged object drawn over the tissue. An incision cuts and divides tissue leaving the wound open and clean. The length of the wound is greater than the depth of the wound. Different types of incised wounds are therapeutic, accident incised wound, suicidal incised, and homicidal incised. Stab wounds are wounds produced by a pointed and or sharp instrument being forced into the tissue usually in a thrusting manner. The depth of the wound is greater than dimensions of the external wound.  Stab wounds produced by a cylindrical instrument with a pointed end may resemble small caliber bullet wounds. A bullet wound of exit in the skin may resemble a stab wound. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition

Question 18 of 21 5.0 Points

Explain what "beveling" indicates? This is an essay question, so respond with more than one sentence.
Beveling of the skull is seen in the exit point of bullet. Beveling of the skull in bullet injury is the principle which guides the occurrence of beveling is that the bullet produces beveling in the second layer or exit point. In entry wound the beveling is present in inner table of skull. In exit wound the beveling is present in the outer table of skull. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition 

 
Question 19 of 21 10.0 Points

With regard to firearm injuries, discuss the procedures and findings to determine range of fire.
According to our text accurate assessment of the range of fire requires test firing of the gun with the type of ammunition that was used in the shooting. Since gunpowder particles which hit the body at close range penetrate the skin, causing small, superficial wounds, it is advisable that skin be used for the test target shot.  When a firearm is discharged, smoke containing abundant soot and gunpowder is ejected from the muzzle along with the bullet. These deposits that occur around the bullet holes in cases of close range fire are referred to as smudging and tattooing or stippling. It is the diameter of spread and the density of these deposits which permit assessment of the range of fire. Combing of hair with a fine tooth comb has been used successfully to gather organic gunshot residue resulting from incomplete combustion of smokeless gunpowder. Such test results are valuable when estimating distance of fire in shot involving the head.  The terminology most often used to describe the range of fire are contact shot, which is when the weapon is fired with the muzzle in contact with the body, close range shot, which is when gun smoke is deposited on the target, and distant shot, which is when the muzzle to target distance exceeds the limits in which guns smoke is identifiable on the target. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition 

 
Question 20 of 21 10.0 Points

There are two parts to this question. A. Discuss the four types of child abuse--clearly mark each one. Include in your discussion, the six patterns of child abuse. Be sure to include characteristics and examples to show your understanding of the terms. B. Discuss several of the challenges that an investigator may face when investigating child abuse.
The four types of child abuse are Physical, Emotional, Sexual, and Neglect.  According to our text child abuse is the physical and mental injury, sexual abuse, or exploitation, negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child under age 18 by a person who is responsible for the child' welfare under circumstances which indicate that the child's health or welfare is harmed or threatened. The six patterns of child abuse that are recognized are physical abuse, nutritional deprivation, sexual abuse, intentional drugging or poisoning, neglect of medical care or safety, and emotional abuse. Physical abuse can be a result from severe discipline such as using a belt on a child or burning them with scalding hot water as a form of punishment. An example of child neglect could be failing to provide your childs basic need such as food or clothing. An example of child sexual abuse can be something like exposing them to sexual adult videos or pictures. An example of emotional abuse could be constantly putting the child down like calling them stupid and worthless repeatedly. Part 2 Investigators face many challenges when interviewing children who may have been abused. The fundamental dilemma is that if the child has been abused, many factors may keep the child from disclosing information to an investigatory interviewer. The offender may have used several strategies with the child to inhibit disclosure. Like manipulation such as if you tell, I will not love you anymore. Bribes is another one like giving the child material goods such as special clothing, a car, or money. Threats like I will you or I will kill your mom. Another challenge the investigator may face is that many abused children may have been told not to trust authority figures. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006). Spitz and Fisher’s Medicolegal Investigation of Death: Guidelines for the Application of Pathology to Crime Investigations, 4th edition   

 
Question 21 of 21 10.0 Points

Discuss the importance of the identification of human remains. Be sure and include specific means of identification verses non-specific means. Use paragraphs to distinguish your ideas.
The forensic recovery and identification of human remains contributes to the knowledge of the whereabouts of missing persons. The recovery of human remains also involves recovering associated material, for example, if a missing deceased individual wore a retainer, and the remains of a missing person are found in a land-fill will the retainer in their mouth, you could identify to person using their dental records. The recovery of human remains is never constrained by time, and tests can be still be conducted even after a long period of time. For instance, you can tell what part of the world a person is from by examining their teeth and identifying the mineral content in their bones. Furthermore, when you do find humans remains, you also get clues from what that individual is/was wearing when they died, or what they were carrying, i.e. weapons, jewellery. Human remains typically have insects crawling inside of them, which are analysed by forensic entomologists; the ratio of different types of insects on human remains can help determine PMI (postmortem interval). The major function of forensic anthropology is to provide law enforcement officials with enough information about human remains that they can be matched with a missing persons file, leading to a positive identification. The data that are first to be discerned from the skeleton are the demographic characteristics of ancestry (race/ethnicity), sex, age, and stature. Knowledge of these attributes helps to limit the search for a possible match, thereby hastening the process of identification. Thus, the assessment of these four traits of personal information constitutes the critical first steps in the forensic anthropological analysis. Since these characteristics are so critical, the methods for assessing each of them will be given separate chapters. References: Spitz, Werner U. (Ed). (2006).
