Forensic Science

  • Forensic Science-image
  • Fingerprints. Blood spatter. DNA analysis. The world of law enforcement is increasingly making use of the techniques and knowledge from the sciences to better understand the crimes that are committed and to catch those individuals responsible for the crimes. Forensic science applies scientific knowledge to the criminal justice system.

    Forensic Science Sem A focuses on some of the techniques and practices used by forensic scientists during a crime investigation. Starting with how a crime scene is recorded, the course will follow the various forms of evidence through to the criminal case trial, examining how different elements of the crime scene are analyzed and processed.

    Although the crime scene represents the first step in solving crimes through forensic science, the crime laboratory plays a critical role in the analysis of evidence. Sem B focuses on the analysis of evidence and testing that takes place within this setting. We will examine some of the basic scientific principles and knowledge that guides forensic laboratory processes, such as those testing DNA, toxicology, and material analysis. Techniques such as microscopy, chromatography, odontology, entomology, mineralogy, and spectroscopy will be examined.
