Description
In this Evidence & Investigation Network seminar we are delighted to invite you to a double event in relation to the complex issues surrounding the movement of bodies in water. Bodies may enter water as a result of a number of criminal and non-criminal circumstances (e.g., homicide, suicide, accident) and the investigation of such cases is complex. Particular challenges relate to predicting where a body will be found or where a body entered the water depending on the nature/stage of the investigation and/or search. While there is little published work to assist search planners and investigators in predicting how human bodies move in an aquatic environment, two UK experts are developing and applying predictive models for inland waterways and marine environments which form the basis of this seminar which will be of interest to a range of academics and practitioners including: Police Search Advisors, police investigators, HM Coastguard and search and rescue teams
