Description
About this course
Forensic science is defined as the application of science and its principles to the law and justice system. There are some types of forensic scientists whom travel to the scene to collect the evidence themselves, whilst there are others who occupy a purely laboratory role, analysing objects brought to them by other personages. While both prosecution and defence can call on the same or differing Forensic Evidence in trial, it is primarily used by the prosecution. Evidence is findings or opinions usually formatted as a formal statement or as a report. Due to the nature of their position, forensic scientists are expected to uphold a high level of integrity and maintain strict ethical guidelines regarding their work therefore all Forensic Evidence is subject to the rules and regulations of The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
Forensic science is used in the examination of physical traces left behind after a crime i.e. hair, blood which can help establish a link between a criminal and the crime. Yet there are many other sectors in which you can specialise i.e. firearms, explosives, and providing insight into the cause of a fire or a road accident. Forensic scientists have also been known to visit a crime scene in person to aid investigators in discovering the sequence in which events have occurred based on physical evidence such as blood patterns or gunpowder residue.
Other forensic scientists will be able to scrutinise drug/alcohol abuse and/or poisoning.
