HOW DOES IT WORK?
Murder House, otherwise known as Nebraska Wesleyan University’s Crime Scene House Practicum, presents you with a crime to work from beginning to end. Second-year students are assigned to groups that include representatives from each of the three forensic science program tracks: behavioral sciences, biology and chemistry, and investigative scenes. Each investigative team is assigned a case to work for the duration of the course. This includes:
- Processing the scene;
- Processing and evaluating evidence;
- Developing victim and offender profiles;
- Following leads;
- Seeing the case through to indictment in a moot grand jury.
Third-year students — called “Faux Felons” — create and set up the scenes. Each team is assigned to a felon and they work together throughout the year.
