Forensic examination

The aim of forensic examination is to obtain information about:

•  Who did it?

Information obtained from DNA found from skin and genital swabs, fibres on clothing etc

•  Was it rape?

Demonstration of genital and non-genital injuries

The client is examined 'top to toe'. Any injuries found are documented on body diagrams.

Head diagrams

To avoid DNA contamination the doctor and crisis worker wear surgical scrubs and shower between examinations. The suite is cleaned between each examination to remove all DNA.
