Forensic Science Research Papers

Forensic Science was officially developed in the 13th century. It began when a murder mystery in China led a man named Song Ci to compare multiple wounds on animals with different weapons to see which wound matched that of the victim. Song Ci was living in 1248, so he was not even close to the technology we have today in the field of Forensic Science. In fact, forensic science just kept growing and eventually, hundreds of years later; the first official forensic science lab was opened in Los Angeles in 1929.
Crime scene investigators use forensic science to solve murders, trace chemicals in the victims, and also be able to identify the true identity of a victim. The evidence from a crime scene is picked up and taken back to a laboratory to be fully analyzed and
After a man was suspected of poisoning multiple wealthy families to gain money from their will, a scientist had to place two sister’s ashes in a solution to

After the wait, both solutions were a deep purple, indicating lethal doses of arsenic, a common rat poison that in large doses can be lethal. These types of innovations are what gives cities with a lot of crime hope to drop these rates.
East St. Louis is America’s top rank of murder rates. Most Forensic scientists work in these types of areas, mostly due to the amount of victims needing to be examined. Forensic science has developed these last three hundred years and will continue to develop, and due to these developments, areas with extremely high murder rates, such as East St. Louis or Detroit will eventually see drops in
