6: Ep. 6: The Science of Blunt Force Trauma

from The Science of Murder · host The Science of Murder

We are discussing blunt force trauma as a mechanism of death, and it's role in the commission of fatal crimes.

When an object meets a surface, physics takes over. In forensic pathology, Blunt Force Trauma (BFT) is a study of energy transfer. We aren't just looking at the injury; we are looking for the story of the weapon—its mass, its velocity, and the surface area of impact. #ScienceOfMurder #ForensicPathology #BluntForceTrauma #PhysicsOfCrime #TrueCrimeAnalysis
