Questions that must be answered

I am certain that I want to have shots of crime scenes but I still haven't finalised the idea enough to really be anywhere near shooting. Following are a few drafted questions that I am in the process of answering.

-> Do I base all crime scenes around one criminal?
-> Are all photos from one scene or am I photographing multiple scenes?
-> Are all photos of similar crimes?
-> Where will I shoot?
-> What props should I start sourcing now?

I was talking to my friend Pete Wildman today, and he suggested that I play out a crime in a domestic setting (for example) and be a forensic photographer myself. He and I thought it would be interesting to put myself in the shoes of one of these people and see what would obscure objects I would notice and deem useful as evidence. This is slightly different to my idea of using a real past crimes and recreating them but it would still produce in-your-face images.

It is something to think about!
