This course is designed to explore the various ways that insects and related arthropods can and have been used as evidence in a court of law, and how they can assist in solving crimes. In this basic course, students will learn the history of forensic entomology, the basics of insect biology, succession and ecology, and an introduction to the different sub-disciplines of this field of forensic entomology, which are Stored Product Forensic Entomology, Urban Forensic Entomology and Medicolegal Forensic Entomology. A review of the major insect players used in assisting with crime scene investigations will be discussed. The course will also cover several actual cases and videos involved in all subdisciplines of forensic entomology, but particular emphasis will be on medicolegal forensic entomology which deals with arthropod involvement in events surrounding felonies, usually violent crimes resulting in death investigations. Some of my cases have been aired on The New Detectives, Forensic Files, Cold Case Files, Dateline, and The Fifth Estate. I have also taught FBI agents forensic entomology techniques at the University of Tennessee Human Body Farm in Knoxville, Tennessee. Selected videos of some of my cases on these programs will be shown and discussed with students in the class. My teaching style involves lecturing with the use of powerpoints to explain the major areas of forensic entomology and some videos from cases I have been involved in. Students will be allowed to ask questions about cases and problems they may have understanding concepts during the entire set of lectures and the class will be interactive in this way.
學習目標
Students will gain familiarity with the basic tenets of forensic entomology including the life cycle, growth, and development of certain organisms (e.g., insects) and consider how these organisms are affected by abiotic factors (e.g., temperature).

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
This course will discuss all the sub-disciplines of forensic entomology, but a major part of the course will be discussing cases that I have been involved in dealing with death investigations and using insects in determining the time between death and corpse discovery. This is what detectives and police desire from a homicide. I have worked on over 40 homicide cases and testified in over 30 criminal trials involving death investigations. Several of my forensic cases have been aired on shows like "The New Detectives", "Forensic Files", "Dateline" and "Cold Case Files" to mention a few. I have also taught FBI agents forensic entomology techniques at the University of Tennessee Human Body Farm in Knoxville, Tennessee. Some of the videos from cases that I have worked on will be shown to the students and a few will show dead bodies when found by the police, if they had insects found on their remains. This is not a major part of the course in showing insect remains on bodies, but there are some videos or powerpoints to illustrate the field I work in.
