Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Book – Visual Training Guide for Investigators

This professional edition is now available through the official store of Jeffrey Gentry.

Bloodstain pattern analysis is the forensic discipline responsible for identifying, documenting, and interpreting bloodstains observed at crime scenes. When properly analyzed, bloodstain patterns can provide critical information regarding events, mechanisms of injury, and the spatial dynamics of violence.

A Visual Guide to Bloodstain Pattern Analysis was developed as a structured, image-based reference for death and crime scene investigators who encounter blood evidence in the field.
