1.1 Reasons Why Notes Should Be Taken at a Scene
1. Accuracy and Detail: Notes help ensure that all observations and actions
are recorded accurately and in detail. This prevents reliance on memory,
which can be fallible.
2. Chronological Record: Provides a chronological record of events, actions,
and observations, which is essential for reconstructing the sequence of
events and understanding the crime.
3. Evidence Preservation: Ensures that all evidence is documented, including
its condition and location, preserving it for future analysis and court
proceedings.
