This may be in relation to a crime or a civil action. The word forensic comes from the Latin adjective forensis , meaning "of or before the forum." In Roman times, a criminal charge meant presenting the case before a group of public individuals in the forum. Both the person accused of the crime and the accuser would give speeches based on their side of the story. The individual with the best argument and delivery would determine the outcome of the case. This origin is the source of the two modern usages of the word forensic – as a form of legal evidence and as a category of public presentation.

Forensic Science: Evidence, Clues and Investigation What happened? Who did what? How? Why? These are the questions police and prosecutors must answer to solve a crime and bring the criminal to justice. Sometimes the task is relatively easy. Other times it is monumentally difficult, like reconstructing a lost language from a single sentence of text. Fortunately, police and prosecutors have a powerful ally: science. By bringing to bear on the evidence knowledge from such disciplines as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, anthropology , and psychology, forensic scientists can help investigators crack even the toughest cases. Forensic Science takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the world of evidence collection and analysis. From tried-and-true investigatory tools like fingerprinting to the cutting edge of DNA profiling, from ballistics to bite marks, from reading stories in the activities of insects to reading the stories human bones tell, this book explains forensic science techniques in terms the layperson can understand. Throughout, actual cases show theory in action and remind us that what happens in the lab has profound consequences for the many people touched by crime.

Advice about a Career in Forensic Science Comments by Dale Nute Adjunct Faculty, Florida State University Recognizing that free advice is worth what you pay for it, the following is provided free of charge. It is based on my experience and therefore is somewhat limited and even if it were more expansive, it all may change tomorrow anyway. With that said, let's get started. A major caution before we begin. Forensic scientists work in the justice system. If you have a criminal record, you have virtually no chance of getting a job as a forensic scientist. If you use drugs (and in Miami, even tobacco) you usually can forget it. Life ain't fair! There are lots of good jobs that overlook youthful indiscretions but the justice system does not. It all begins with what you want to do. There are six general areas of practice (any I've left out I don't know enough about to give even free advice). If you know that you are interested in one of the areas, click on it and go directly to that discussion. medical examiner crime laboratory analyst,

Main Campus Library Bookstore ... Search Online Courses What is a forensic scientist? A forensic scientist examines physical evidence and then testifies about the results of their findings in court. They are in fact defined by the expectation that they may give expert testimony about their examinations and further provide interpretations or opinions under oath. As explained in Thornton "Forensic" comes to us from the Latin forensus , meaning "of the forum." In Ancient Rome, the forum was where governmental debates were held, but it was also where trials were held. It was the courthouse. So forensic science has come to mean the application of the natural and physical sciences to the resolution of conflicts within a legal setting. The single feature that distinguishes forensic scientists from any other scientist is the certain expectation that they will appear in court and testify to their findings and offer an opinion as to the significance of those findings. The forensic scientist will testify not only to what things are, but to what things mean. Forensic science is science exercised on behalf of the law in the just resolution of conflict. A true forensic scientist is not a policeman, nor are they partial about the outcome of their examinations. They are objective investigators of scientific fact. Subsequently, a forensic scientist may work in a state run crime lab, or they many work in private practice.
