Problems that May Arise from Forensic Photography

Abstract

According to the renowned Chinese philosopher Confucius, a picture has the ability to effectively communicate intricate concepts, carrying the same weight as a thousand words. Furthermore, it is imperative to exercise caution when discussing forensic photography, since its primary objective is to align with the criminal trial's purpose, which is to ascertain the truth or, more specifically, to establish the comprehensive and prompt facts pertaining to the crime. This ensures that offenders are appropriately penalized in accordance with the law and that persons who have engaged in illegal actions are not held legally accountable. Forensic photography, unlike other fields of photography, has the power to determine the destiny of a prisoner, particularly in cases that involve the death penalty. The capacity of forensic photography to distinguish between saving a life and finally terminating it has significant ramifications in nations that continue to employ capital punishment. This research aims to analyze the possible drawbacks associated with obtaining forensic photographs. I will conduct a thorough examination of the fundamental reasons behind these blunders and offer strategies to prevent their recurrence in the future.
