<p>The Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus Crime Scene Lab and the Forensic Photography Class is expanding operations.</p><p>This newly created crime scene lab integrates with the Forensic Photography and Administration of Justice programs and will provide a multifunctional, flexible space, on campus to provide real-world experiences for the participating students.</p><p><ins>The Forensic Photography course &#8220;&#8230;explores the principles of Forensic Photography and Photographic Methods, and the procedures and standards that differentiate forensic photography from &#8220;artistic&#8221; photography and other methods of documentary photography. Through readings, analysis and photographic practice, this course covers the fundamentals of photography, including lighting, image quality, composition, and more. Students apply and implement these fundamentals in forensic settings, for evidence documentation such as accidents, injuries, fingerprints, footprints, and bloodstains. Students are required to follow the standards and guidelines created by Scientific Working Groups in the taking of these forensic images.&#8221;</ins></p><p><ins>The Administration of Justice courses cover some of the &#8220;&#8230;most serious social problems ever faced by society, including how to effectively deal with crime in a rapidly changing world. Today&#8217;s Administration of Justice (AOJ) students are tomorrow&#8217;s front line protectors and policy makers. They are the students who will ultimately walk the fine line between crime control and due process. It is a commendable and challenging pursuit for young, passionate minds.&#8221; Our campus crime scene lab is another tool to provide in-depth realistic training for the students.</ins></p><p>Here is our final schedule of upcoming events.
