and its role in calculating time of death;
(B) explain post mortem lividity and its importance
when processing a crime scene;
(C) determine time of death using entomology; and
(D) determine time and cause of death methodologies
through case studies.
(17) The student understands how physical evidence
can provide a basis for questioning people about a crime and how questioning
can provide leads for finding physical evidence. The student is expected
to:
(A) explain the terms victim, complainant, witness,
and suspect as they apply to a criminal investigation;
(B) demonstrate interviewing and interrogating throughout
an investigation;
(C) demonstrate effective questioning techniques and
positive communication skills;
(D) analyze the importance of reading the Miranda Warnings
during interviewing and interrogating; and
(E) describe the techniques used to interview and question
children and juveniles.
(18) The student develops a suspect profile when there
is not a suspect at the crime scene and a suspect is not apprehended
nearby. The student is expected to:
(A) compile information provided by victims, witnesses,
and other persons likely to know about the crime or the suspect;
(B) examine physical evidence left at the crime scene
to determine a suspect profile;
