Harvest+KS


 * Comparison Between Dial M for Murder and Harvest:**

The main difference between the way these two crimes were solved was the technology that was used. While Dial M for Murder was made in the 50s, and therefore the detectives did not have access to the newer technology that was used in the CSI episode of Harvest. For example, in the episode of Harvest, though it ultimately did not lead to the perpetrator, the CSI's were able to search a database that had a list of all known sexual predators in the greater Las Vegas area. These databases are available all over the country today, and as citizens we could look up any of these people whenever we wanted to. This technology was not available during the time of Dial M for Murder. Another piece of technology that was used in Harvest, but not in Dial M for Murder was DNA analysis, which was not available for crime scene analysis during Dial M for Murder. In Harvest, DNA analysis was used to compare the blood on the victim, and the blood on the tissue in the victim's home. Furthermore, while it wasn't entirely prevelant to the actual case, bone marrow transplants were done on the victim in Harvest. These transplants, though, were not abailable for use in the early 50s, though the first successful one took place in 1957.

Another difference I noticed, was the way that the detectives approached the crime scene. In Dial M for Murder, there were many people at the scene while the detectives were searching for evidence. In Harvest, however, there were few if any people near the actual body when it was found, and the scene was taped off immediately. Other than these differences, however, the crimes the detectives in both cases approached the scene similarly. Both crimes required the detectives to approach the crime with an open mind, and though it took awhile in Dial M for Murder, the detectives ultimately solved the case.
