We created this database to store peer-reviewed journal articles relating to bloodstain pattern analysis, shooting reconstruction, crime scene reconstruction, and other forensic topics.

We include only articles for which PDFs are available and redistributable. This includes articles from open access journals and articles which we have permission from the authors (or copyright holders) to add.

Search the database using the search box on the right, click the keywords listed below to explore the articles in the database, or view all research articles.

Here are some articles from the database if you want to start exploring:

• Studying Fired Bullet Performance in a Unique Environment
• A Review of Some Biomechanical Principles That Govern the Response Characteristics of Anatomic Materials
• An Application of the Principles of Projectile Motion to a Homicide Investigation
