综观美国犯罪重建领域的发展历程,大致遵循这样一条发展脉络:首先由实务界提出了诸多的犯罪重建方法,然后由专家学者加以总结,并借鉴相关领域的研究成果,从而提出犯罪重建领域的原理,即洛卡德物质转移原理,纵向叠层原理、横向连续原理及年代划定原理,进而提炼犯罪重建的方法论。 Looking at the history of criminal reconstruction in the United States, we follow the development of such a framework: first, many criminal reconstruction methods are put forward by practitioners and then summarized by experts and scholars, and the research results in related fields are used to come up with the principles of crime reconstruction , That is, the principle of material transfer of Locard, principle of longitudinal stacking, principle of horizontal continuity and delineation of age, and then refine the methodology of criminal reconstruction.
