Two major crime scenes of violent domestic assaults will be investigated at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga on Thursday 25 August all in the name of teaching and learning. The investigators at the two scenes will be students studying the subject Crime Scene by distance education. The assault victims and offenders will be played by Bachelor of Arts (Acting for Screen and Stage) at CSU in Wagga Wagga. “There is a single opportunity to process a crime scene in real life,” said Mr Pieter Strik, a lecturer with CSU’s Faculty of Arts. “Once an investigator has set foot on the crime scene it has been changed forever. There are no second chances so it is crucial appropriate processes are followed. This subject provides our students with the skills to detect, collect and preserve physical evidence,” said Mr Strik, who has had 30 years experience as a police officer including as a crime scene investigator. About 20 students will be involved in the scenarios from 1pm to 5pm near car park 4, Tooma Way at CSU in Wagga Wagga.
