Fascinating Forensic Facts – Blood Stains

Here is some information on blood pattern analysis which I've gleaned for both my Detective Inspector Andy Horton crime novels set in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight and for my Art Marvik mystery thriller series set along the South Coast of England.
Blood Pattern Analysis
Blood can leave the body in many different ways, depending on the type of injury inflicted. It can flow, drip, spray, spurt, gush or just ooze from wounds.Bloodstains are classified into three basic types:
passive stains, drops, flows and pools, and typically result from gravity acting on an injured body.
transfer stains result from objects coming into contact with existing bloodstains and leaving wipes, swipes or pattern transfers behind such as a bloody shoe print or a smear from a body being dragged.
A fascinating if not gruesome subject and some interesting background information for crime authors like me.
