Works in the lab analyzing evidence from a variety of different crime scenes? Who is a Forensic Scientist?…
The role of the forensic scientists in the Police Service is that they provide scientific evidence for use in courts of law to support the prosecution or defence in criminal and civil investigations. Their main role is to search for evidence and to put the events in the order that they happen.…
Why forensic scientists are an important part in drug cases is because they hold the ability to tell whether or not the drug is present. They have to be able to back their findings up with evidence suitable in the court of law.…
Forensic scientists collect and analyze the evidence, give an expert testimony, and train other law enforcement individuals on how to record and collect evidence.…
Forensic science, is the application of science to the criminal justice system. Forensic science is any science that is used for the purposes of the criminal justice system. Forensic scientists use forensics to help determine who committed a crime. For example, forensic scientists are able to compare fingerprints from a crime scene with databases of fingerprints in order to find who was at the scene of a crime.…
2. A forensic scientist must analyze evidence from crime scenes, provide an expert testimony during court cases, and assist in training other law enforcement employees to properly gather crime scene evidence to ensure it is not contaminated.…
-Brief Description- Forensic scientist’s help investigators solve crimes by analyzing the pieces of evidence that have been gathered from a crime scene. They might work with a wide variety of evidence types, or specialize in an area such as DNA evidence or fingerprint examination.…
In legal cases involving a dead body that has died of unnatural causes, such as homocide or suicide, a forensic pathologist, also known as a medical examiner is called in. The medical examiner's main job is to perform an autopsy on the victim of any unnatural form of death. Many forensic pathologists also have been trained in the legal process of investigation on top of their medical training because they can be called to court as expert witnesses during a case. Possible job locations could vary for a medical examiner. They are needed in both state, local, and federal governments, as well as in hospitals, universities, and police departments.They spend time in the lab, on the crime scene, or in court as expert witnesses.…
Forensic scientists do much more than process, analyze and compare evidence. The scientist must be qualified as an expert witness. Your individual work will explore the question, "what is an expert witness?"…
In the article by R.U.Steinberg, paragraph 2 tells us that the first step that forensic anthropologists take after finding the bones, is examine it and find out if it's human. Then they ask if it's an individual or more. After knoork on the biological profile of the victim which includes age, height, gender, and race. Paragraph 2 in the article says that race can be determined with antemartem pathology. After knowing the biological prifile, they establish positive identification. Dental records, hospital X-rays and DNA could be used in this method. "After that we top it off with perimotem [ time of death] pathology." Says R.U.Steinberg. This is done in order to coclude if a murder has occured. In order to find out the time of death, they look at the details of the bones and if they have any sratches or marks in them.…
There are many different careers in the world. There is a career for everyone. For instants Forensic science is one of them and there are many more. There are a lot of things that they had to do before they became a forensic science. They had to have an education and what they need to do. Like their responsibilities, pay and benefits, work and life balance, job prospects, and detailed budget. There many more that they have to do before they can become a forensic science.…
Forensic anthropologists also help solve cases together with law enforcement and medical examiners. They also have to write lab reports to give to the police department.…
Since a child, I have enjoyed solving puzzles and problems. Forensic science would enable me to apply what I have learned from classes, undergraduate research, and work experience to solve crimes and determine an individual’s innocence. Being a biologist, I love working in the laboratory, and would enjoy analyzing DNA…
Forensic science is the uses scientific knowledge to solve legal and criminal investigations by collecting evidence from the crime scene. There are two main parameters that can be used to identify the individual in this case, namely forensic odontology and forensic anthropology. Forensic anthropology identifies human remains especially bones as they could locate and recover suspicious remains to help determine the age, sex, ancestry, stature and features of a decedent from the skeleton. For example, the sex of a person can be determined by studying the base of the skull, the forehead and the jaw. One very efficient method is facial reconstruction. As soon as information such as the race, age and gender are obtained by anthropologists, the artist glues pieces of plastic to the skull at 18-26 key points by using tissue thickness sample charts to identify the victim from the face.…
One of the first insects to settle into a freshly dead body is the blowfly. Blowflies have a number of different life cycles starting with an egg stage, moving onto three different larval stages, and going through a pupa stage before emerging as an adult. Because of the extensive study of blowfly life stages and a working knowledge of the length of the each life cycle a time of death, to within a day or so, can be determined from the stage of blowfly colonization on a body. Many other insects come to the body after the blowfly. Here are some of the things that insects help forensic entomologists discover about a body: Drugs- By analyzing the bodies, shed skins or faces of flesh-eating insects found at a crime scene, forensic entomologists may be able to determine whether drugs were used, and which they were. DNA- Forensic scientists can extract the DNA from blood consumed by blood-sucking insects. This can be used to place someone at the scene of a crime, supported by evidence of bite marks.…
