Associative Evidence

Home > Evidence Handling Procedures > Associative Evidence

Associative evidence originates from contact between

  • people,
  • objects,
  • people and objects.

Associative evidence can be used to provide links between evidence and individuals involved in a crime. In some cases, the associative evidence (e.g., fingerprints or DNA) may be sufficient to prove the contact. In other cases, the associative evidence may be less definitive and provide corroboration of other evidence.
