The International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts (IABPA) was formed 18 November 1983 at the Hilton Hotel in Corning, NY under the guidance of Herbert MacDonell. The concept of an association came about as a result of a group of bloodstain analysts who recognized the need for a coordinated effort to develop themselves and the emerging field of bloodstain pattern analysis. Of the 23 people present at the meeting moderated by Deborah J. Wakida, 22 became Charter Members. Only Douglas Ridolfi of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department declined to join. In the early 1980s Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) was beginning to make its way into the investigative toolbox of many North American forensic sections. As any new method of gathering and interpreting forensic evidence, there was some apprehension in many areas of the legal system. When the IABPA bylaws were formed, one of the main objectives of the association was identified as ''promoting the education of all involved with bloodstain pattern analysis''. This was to be done through study, research, and experimentation. There was also an identified need for standardization in the areas of training, analysis, terminology, and reporting. The IABPA meets annually in October, moving the location between Regions I to IV (see below). ==Membership== There are four levels of membership within the IABPA. : *Associate Member - a member who has not completed the 40-hour Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Course but has a general interest in the IABPA : *Provisional Member - a member who has completed the 40-hour Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Course and has been recommended by a Full Member : *Full Member - a Provisional Member may be promoted to Full Member after one year and having been recommended based on efforts in the field of bloodstain analysis study : *Distinguished Member - a member may be granted distinguished status by his peers for significant service to the discipline or the IABPA (Members receive the IABPA Newsletter, published quarterly.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
