'Crime scene cast'
A crime scene cast is a three-dimensional replica of a footprint, tire track, or other impression found at a crime scene. It is created by pouring a casting material, such as dental stone or plaster, into the impression and allowing it to harden. Once the cast is removed, it can be used as evidence to compare with known shoe or tire patterns to help identify potential suspects. Crime scene casts are an important tool in forensic investigations for linking physical evidence to individuals involved in a crime.

Is crime hereditary?
There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that crime is hereditary. While genetics may play a role in certain behaviors and personality traits, including impulsivity and aggression, they do not determine criminal behavior. Environmental factors, such as upbringing, socioeconomic status, and community influences, also play a significant role in shaping an individual's likelihood of engaging in criminal activities. Therefore, it is more accurate to view crime as a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and social factors rather than solely a hereditary trait.
