Search Lab

Task:

1. Using what you’ve learned so far, assess each crime scene. Identify two search patterns you would use and explain your selection. Identify two search patterns you would NOT use and explain your selection. Be sure to highlight what factors for each scene made you select those patterns (e.g. size of the scene, obstacles within the scene, whether the scene would make it easy to preform the pattern, environmental factors, etc.). Remember you will receive a low score if you pick an illogical pattern or give an illogical/incorrect explanation. NOTE: Some of the information given is useful for determining a search pattern and some information is not! Beware of developing tunnel vision!

2. Write your answers in full and complete sentences. Remember you must use your own words for your answer and cite any outside source (anything outside this Canvas course).
