forensicR: Crime Scene Documentation and Reconstruction Tools

Supports crime scene investigators in documenting and reconstructing scenes. Scene points are mapped from field measurements (baseline, triangulation, polar). Shooting incidents are reconstructed from bullet defects with explicit uncertainty, following the methods described in Haag and Haag (2020, ISBN:9780128193976) and Hueske (2015, ISBN:9781498707664). Evidence and custody are logged in a structured form, and reproducible scene reports are rendered to Word, PDF or HTML.

Getting started: your first scene in one sitting
1. The scene | The room | 2. Evidence locations from your measurements | 3. Furniture, as it is measured | 4. The sketch | 5. One trajectory, with its uncertainty | Where could the shooter have been? | Seeing the uncertainty | 6. The evidence log | 7. The report | 8. Optional: the scene in 3D | Where to go next

Shooting reconstruction with explicit uncertainty
1. Impact angle from a defect | 2. Three ways to establish a trajectory | Rod or laser angles at the defect | Two points on the path | A single defect's ellipse plus directionality | 3. Seeing the cone, not the line | 4. Where was the shooter? | 5. Several shots: do they converge? | 6. Objects on the path | 7. Segmented paths through intermediate targets | 8. In three dimensions | 9. What to write in the report
