Introduction to Forensic Sciences
The implementation of scientific tools and procedures in criminal investigations is known as forensic science. it requires gathering, preserving, analyzing and presenting evidence in a legal setting. A wide range of scientific fields, as: - biology - chemistry - physics - toxicology They are re used by forensic scientists to analyze evidence and give expert testimony. instruments and techniques such as: - DNA analysis - Fingerprint Identification - Ballistics - Toxicology -> Forensic scientists need to guarantee that evidence is gathered, stored and examined in a way that aligns with ethical standards and take precautions against any potential biases that can affect their workd and be conscious of them Evidence rely on scientific principles: - Biology (bloodstain pattern, DNA ) - Chemistry (toxicology, drug, trace) - Physic (physical, accident reconstruction, ballistics) - Toxicology (lethal or harmful chemicals) - Geology (GPS, soil) -----
