Module One Disscussion Questions
1.What do you think you'd like most about working as a forensic scientist? Why? What do you think you'd like least about working as a forensic scientist? Why? I think id like getting justice for victims and their family, because it would make me feel good and proud. I wouldn’t like where a guilty person gets away with a crime because of lack of evidence… I would like blood spatter the most, and hate talking in the jury or training others. Gathering all the evidence and analyzing the evidence from a crime scene would be a lot of fun.
2.Do you think you suffer from the "CSI effect"? Why or why not? What problems do you think this "effect" has on the criminal justice system? I think I suffer from the CSI effect, I got into forensic science when I watched Dexter, my favorite serial killer. It always showed how interesting forensic science is and would be out on the field. He got a lot of days off, and it seemed pretty easy, but he wasn’t always right. Well at times he was right because he’s gone through those situations, but sometimes in court he’d bring the wrong evidence and that would mess up the whole thing and the guy would walk. All of that made me want to get into forensic science, because it looked basic and easy.
