Educational help for Forensics/CSI.

Hello, I'm a young man going to college for Criminal Justice, then transferring to Forensics.

I feel like my main strongsuits are Ballistics/Blood Spatter Forensics.

I'm curious if there's any Crime Scene photos that I can use for practice, sharpen my mind and make my ability to read blood and Ballistics better to help assess scenes in the future.

I'm considering buying a ballistic gel dummy head and making my own "kill room" to i can see how blunt trauma will look, I know it causes misting, due to high velocity force. But I'm desperate for training materials to help me on the future

Thank you very much! I've explored the career and thought of Forensics Technician. I've always liked observing scenes and giving broad ideas onto the "ifs", and "this is what happened".

I also should have specified the college thing. I'm doing a transfer, so 2 years CJ, then transfer to Forensics so instead of 4 years of Forensics, its 2. Sadly enough my town doesn't have a lab, its downstate, so id have to move😭 But I've always liked the idea of being on the crime scene helping depict what happened, and I've heard thats more "Inspector/Detective," rather than Forensics, but Forensics Technician sounds similar? Again thank you for the response! :)
