Forensics And Biotechnology In Criminal Justice
Use of forensics and biotechnology in Criminal Justice
Abstract
“Proof” is defined as an act or process of showing that something is true (Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary). In criminal justice, proof is seemingly the most important factor in crime solving. As the old saying goes “it’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove.” The method of gathering and examining information is known as forensic science; a prominent resource in the law enforcement field. Whether on television or in real life, forensic science seems to almost always be the deciding factor in solving crimes, proving innocence, or convicting the accused. Dating back to the 700s when the Chinese used finger prints to establish the identity of documents and clay sculptures
