Abstract

Crime scene kit is an important tool used in crime scene investigation for proper, efficient and legal collection and storage of evidence that is the backbone of any criminal investigations. It has a very essential purpose of handling all forms of evidence from the time it is collected at the crime scene till the time it is processed in the analytical laboratory.  In forensic science, the crime scene kit serves an important role of how scientifically reliable and probative evidence is collected in a crime scene.  It encompasses components and instruments for the collection, storage and examination of physical evidence, particularly DNA, fingerprints, and traces substances. Its working is very efficient due to avoiding compromise.  Components of the kit are for instance, kindly used sterile swabs, protective clothing, finger print kits and the famous tamper-evident securing of evidence items.  Used correctly, the crime scene kit guarantees forensic scientists have an accurate picture of the crime scene when conducting their tests in the laboratory in the aid of criminal investigations and the law.
