  • Abstract:
  • Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) plays a crucial role in forensic investigations, providing insights into the events leading to violent crimes by analyzing the shape, distribution, and characteristics of bloodstains. This review delves into the evolution of BPA, from foundational theories and practical applications to advanced methodologies involving fluid dynamics and probabilistic approaches. Foundational texts by James et al. (2005) and Bevel and Gardner (2008) laid the groundwork, emphasizing the practical application of bloodstain analysis in crime scene reconstruction. Recent advances, notably from Attinger et al. (2013), Comiskey et al. (2016, 2017), and Camana (2013), have integrated fluid dynamics and statistical models, allowing for more precise interpretations of bloodstain patterns. Furthermore, experimental validation studies, such as those by Carter (2001), and differentiation research by Siu et al. (2017) highlight the progress in distinguishing bloodstains caused by different forms of violence. However, despite these advances, the reliability and standardization of BPA methods have been called into question, particularly in the report "Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward" (2009). This review critically examines both the foundational principles and modern advances in BPA, identifies current challenges, and suggests future research directions to enhance the accuracy and scientific rigor of the discipline.
