Nonverbal communication is not something added to criminal jus-

tice, but rather it is the essence of criminal justice. These results

suggest that nonverbal communication is the foundation of a suc-

cessful relationship/encounter between criminal justice personnel

and suspects or criminals, as well as being a powerful method that

cannot be feigned.

Myth - Dried bloodstain can be reconstituted with

distilled water.

Fact - Water will lyse the blood cells and destroy

them. Hence, normal saline should be used to re-

constitute dried blood stains since it has a similar

osmotic value as blood.
