Investigations Involving Trace Evidence Analysis

Trace evidence analysis is a discipline of forensic science that deals with the minute transfers of materials that cannot commonly be seen with the unaided eye. The types of trace evidence range from fibers or paint chips to primer gunshot residue. This evidence may provide a link between a victim and a suspect, a victim and a scene, or a suspect and a scene.
