Welcome Address
A special welcome to all our students local and international, we understand that attending conventional classes may be difficult and burdensome to some who are working class or whose locations are remote hence the need for this online (synchronous and asynchronous) forensic education, this will be of tremendous help to all who may be interested in the training but could not leave their job or are far away, so we hope that you will enjoy the forensic online education
Forensic science, the application of the methods of the natural and physical sciences to matters of criminal and civil law (Jay A. Siegel, 2017) is not well known in the continent of Africa justice system. The continent is ravaged by crimes of different categories. The justice system is trying but overwhelmed by caseloads. Many innocent souls are wrongly incarcerated and are languishing in jails in different parts of the continent majorly because of lack of forensic science, which may lead to inappropriate testimony in the court, and many crimes are being committed on daily basis with criminals walking freely in the street because of lack of evidence to link them to the crime.
I am of the opinion that this training will go a long way in helping the justice systems in the continent to curb crimes.
I therefore recommend that law enforcement agents, Lawyers, judges, private investigators, medical personnel interested in coroner, administrators and students make use of this opportunity to acquire new skills that will help them to discharge their duties accurately and efficiently.
Once again you are welcome.
