Introduction
Bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) is a crucial aspect of forensic science that plays a significant role in crime scene reconstruction. By examining the patterns of bloodstains left at a crime scene, forensic experts can gain valuable insights into the events that transpired, the type of weapon used, the position of the victim and assailant, and other important details that can help in solving the crime. This thesis explores the importance of BPA in crime scene reconstruction and its role in aiding law enforcement agencies in investigating and solving crimes.
