Footprint Analysis

In this lab, we were told to leave a footprint impression in the record the characteristics of the impression. We recorded weather information, time, date, location, and direction of the footprint. Then we wrote down properties of the (length and width) of the shoe impression that was left. We were able to determine the gender and size of the person who left the print. Males leave a deeper impression because of their size and a larger print because they usually have larger feet unlike women. With this lab, we were able to see the techniques used by analysts in recording and analyzing the suspect by their foot impression.
