Abstract
Frequently blood and blood stains are encountered at the crime scene places. The blood stains may be found in different patterns and the analysis of these different patterns helps in the establishment of the crime especially in homicide cases or other violent crimes. In certain cases, this may help in the establishment of the identity of an unknown accused or victim. The analysis of blood stains may also help in the detection of certain poisonous substances. The present article is a review type and it is observed that a meticulous examination considering the size, shape, distribution, overall appearance, and location of the blood stains will be very helpful in the crime scene investigation.
