SCENE ANALYST DO?

TO A CRIME SCENE, LETS SAY AFTER SOMEONE IS
MURDERED AND THEY COLLECT EVIDENCE FROM
THAT CRIME SCENE, THEN THEY TAKE IT BACK TO A
LAB TO HAVE IT EXAMINED SO THEY CAN FIND OUT
WHO DID THE CRIME AND MAYBE IF THEY GOT AWAY
TO EVEN TRACK THERE LOCATION SO THEY CAN PUT
THE CRIMINAL IN JAIL. THIS WOULD BE A FUN JOB
BECAUSE IT DEALS WITH SOME SORT OF MYSTERY
AND IT IS INTERESTING HOW IT IS DONE.

HOW MUCH DOES DOLLARS A YEAR. THE LONGER YOU WORK, THE HIGHER YOUR PAY
THIS JOB PAY? GETS. THE TOP 10% OF SCIENTIST CAN RESIVE A YEARLY SALARY

WHAT IS THE • THE OUTLOOK OF A CRIME SCENE ANALYST IS THAT THERE DEMAND IS GROWING EVERY YEAR.
UNFORTUNALY THIS NUMBER KEEPS GROWING BECAUSE OF THAT THERE IS MORE RATES OF
OUTLOOK IN THIS CRIME IN THE US EVERY YEAR. THEY ARE NEEDED MORE BECAUSE ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT IS
COLLECTED AT A CRIME IS COLLECTED, BUT THEN THEY NEED TO BRING THE EVIDENCE BACK
JOB? TO A LAB TO TEST IT AND THEN THEY NEED IT PEOPLE TO GO TO OTHER CRIME SCENES.
