Forensic Science is any science used for the purposes of the law, and therefore provides impartial scientific evidence for use in the courts of law, e.g. in a criminal investigation and trial.
In this course we will learn different tools and techniques used to investigate different aspects of forensic work such as: crime scene investigation, fingerprinting and impression evidence, physical evidence, trace evidence, forensic pathology, DNA, toxicology, forensic anthropology, and arson investigation, as well as other forensic disciplines.
