FSC100 MIDTERM REVIEW EXAM QUESTIONS AND
100% VERIFIED ANSWERS (NEWEST)
Atavists: ANSWER maintained that offenders' biological deviance caused
them to be born to commit crimes.
positivists, according to ANSWER . Crime is a result of social factors.
Recidivism is the act of committing a crime again.
The father of modern criminology, Cesare Lombroso (1835–1909), was an
atavist and practicing psychiatrist who believed that criminals were born deviant
based on their physical characteristics. He visited hospitals, asylums, and
prisons, took measurements, gathered writings and drawings, took pictures, and
more.
ANSWER : Alexandre Lacassagne (1843–1924), a positivist and the founder of
forensic medicine, connected crime rates to geography and suggested that
criminal behavior was influenced by their social surroundings.
Joseph Vacher, sometimes known as ANSWER or the French Ripper, was put
to death in 1898 for killing over twenty-three individuals who had been
apprehended during an unsuccessful kidnapping. Lacassagne attended the trial,
studied Vacher's past, spoke with him, wrote extensively about the case's
specifics, and testified when he confessed to other killings while prison.
The first system of physical measurements, photography, and record keeping
that police could use to define repeat offenders was developed by Alphonse
Bertillon (1853–1914). The concept of mugshots focused on developing an
instant identification system rather than comprehending the morphology of
criminals; this system is known as signaletics (or the Bertillonage method);
variations in measurements made it difficult to accurately identify criminals; the
Bertillon system was in use for more than 30 years before being replaced by
fingerprinting.
, ANSWER : Edmond Locard (1877–1966)
By the 1970s, criminalistics—the study of investigating crimes—was regarded
as forensic science.
The term "criminalistics" was coined by Hans Gross, an Austrian criminal law
professor who lived from 1847 to 1915.
Locard's Exchange Principle: ANSWER : When two objects come into contact,
material always transfers from one to the other. Microscopic traces are the silent
witnesses in criminal cases.
Anything that can provide or support information in a legal investigation is
considered evidence.
An example of an indirect witness would be a neighbor who heard a loud crash
but did not witness the crime.
Direct Witness: ANSWER : saw the crime happen or were a victim of it
Any evidence that places a person at a location or with a victim is considered
associative evidence.
Class Evidence: ANSWER evidence that needs to be categorized into a more
specific range
ANSWER data and information sent and/or stored in any electronic device is
considered electronic evidence.
Any evidence that cannot be seen without the use of chemical, photographic, or
electronic development or amplification is known as latent evidence.
Evidence that must be retrieved from another substance and is present in
extremely small quantities—often undetectable to the unaided eye—is known as
trace evidence.
Evidence that confirms or demonstrates that a specific amount of time has
passed is known as indicative evidence.
Circumstantial evidence includes facts, observations, and actions that can be
used to determine someone's guilt.
LOSER: LISTEN to witnesses and/or victims.
Examine the environment, including the approach, and the scene.
