Bloodstain Pattern Analysis - The Forensics Library
Often found at the scenes of violent crimes, the analysis of bloodstains can provide vital clues as to the occurrence of events. Though bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) can be a subjective area of study at times and often reliant on the experience of the investigator, the idea that blood will obey certain laws of physics enables the examination of blood at an incident scene and on items of evidence to offer at least an insight into what was likely to have occurred.

Forensic Science - Bloodstain Pattern Analysis
The recognition and analysis of bloodstain patterns can yield useful investigative information. The general role of the Bloodstain Pattern Analyst in a criminal investigation is to assist in the reconstruction of those events of an alleged incident that could have created the stains and stain patterns present at a crime scene, on items of physical evidence recovered from that scene and on items of clothing that were present at the crime scene.

Bloodstain Pattern Analysis: How It's Done
Bloodstains range in both amount of blood and type of pattern - from pools of blood around a body to obvious spatter patterns on the walls to microscopic drops on a suspect's clothing. The shape of the bloodstain pattern will depend greatly on the force used to propel the blood as well as the surface it lands on.
