The scope of the Scene of Crime Working Group is:

• to consider the “crime scene” as part of the overall contribution of forensic science to crime investigation and the administration of justice
• to recognise that a broad definition of the “crime scene” needs to be employed that covers the location, collection and interpretation of forensic evidence from suspects and victims as well as places/locations
• to recognise the broad spectrum of interests of police, forensic and law enforcement agencies in effective “crime scene” examination, the involvement and representation on the Working Group will reflect this broad view
