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:

• A Comparison of the Luminol and Blue Star Blood Reagents in Detecting Blood in Soil Nearly Four Years After Deposition
• Visual Appearance and Chemical Detection of Bloodstains on Concrete After Exposure to the Elements
• A Comparison of Event Analysis and Multilinear Events Sequencing Techniques for Reconstructing Unique Phenomena
