Question

the locard exchange principle would identify ____ as physical evidence.

• brown specs on the neighbors trousers
• the dead body in the kitchen
• a large amount of money in the suspects bank account
• calls listed on the cell phone log

Explanation:

The Locard Exchange Principle involves the transfer of physical materials during contact. Blood - stains on trousers are physical substances that can be transferred during an event and are physical evidence. A dead body is also physical evidence. A large amount of money in a bank account is financial information and not physical evidence in the sense of the Locard Exchange Principle. Calls listed on a cell - phone log are digital or informational evidence, not physical in the context of the principle. The most typical physical evidence among the options based on the principle is blood stains on the neighbor's trousers as it represents a transfer of a physical substance.

Answer:

blood stains on the neighbor's trousers
