List three important considerations when submitting hair samples to a crime laboratory.

What will be an ideal response?


Questioned hairs submitted to a crime laboratory for examination must be accompanied by an adequate number of standard/reference samples from the victim and from individuals suspected of being present at the crime scene. Questioned and standard/reference hairs must come from the same
area of the body. The collection of standard/reference hairs must be carried out in a way that ensures a representative sampling of hair from any one area of the body.
