Glass on clothing and shoes of members of the general population and people suspected of breaking crimes

The outer clothing and footwear of 122 people attending a university gymnasium and a private gymnasium were searched for fragments of glass. Both the surfaces and the pockets of the clothing and the uppers and soles of the footwear were searched. New Zealand forensic glass cases have been reviewed to determine the amount of nonmatching glass present on the clothing of people who are suspected of breaking crimes. Data from 114 suspects who had no matching glass on their clothing and shoes were accumulated. Statistical modelling techniques have been applied to the data collected.
