The American Academy of Forensic Sciences is a professional website that was founded in 1948. The purpose of this American Academy of Forensic Sciences community is to provide information towards leadership of science, and the knowledge about the legal system. This community was developed to inform and educated everyone about their knowledge about this program, and to help them gather information on that specific subject of forensic science. It is searching for people that will join their…

Computer forensics – Code of Ethics and Morals Introduction Computerized crime scene investigation, otherwise called PC and system legal sciences, as numerous definitions. Most generally, it is viewed as the use of science to the recognizable proof, accumulation, examination, and investigation of information while saving the respectability of the data and keeping up a strict chain of care for the information. Personal computer and legal sciences is the act of distinguishing, separating and…

Holmes/Scarpetta Project- The Valley of Fear What discipline was involved? Digital Forensics (cryptology)- The process of encrypting messages and examining digital media forensically to find, analyze, and present facts and opinions. What was the equipment used? The ciphers represent the pages of previous editions of Whitaker's Almanack. The first number represented the page number in the Almanac. The second number, C2, was the column number on the page in the book. The numbers that…

the trace and transfer evidence may be viable for matching depending on the care taken by evidence collection personnel, as well as forensic technicians, and if there is a match in the database. Some matches could be made years later when new fingerprints or DNA are entered into the database for comparison. DNA is the most trusted evidence in forensic history. Forensic serologists study chromosomes in the blood, saliva, or sweat that differ from each individual and can convict suspects and…

Do you understand what the forensic expert is dictating, or do you simply nod along as they explain what they believe the evidence signifies? Used with the intention to correlate criminal investigations and scientific techniques, forensics became a division of science that specializes in analyzing criminal cases. It has a wide range of disciplines, expanding…

chemistry. Many people see forensic science technicians as some really cool crime scene investigators, but there is so much more to it. Forensic science technicians are crime scene investigators, but they also work in laboratories to analyze any evidence that they have collected at the scene of the crime. They also collaborate with scientists in a other fields, such as toxicologists who will isolate and identify any substances in the body that have contributed to the crime. Forensic science…

Forensic science is one aspect of law enforcement where crime-solving, technology and science meet in support of the Theory of Transfer (When two objects meet, some evidence of that meeting can be found later and verified). There was a significant instance in 1248 where a Chinese Author; His DuanYu published a book (The Washing Away of Wrongs) on how medical knowledge could be applied to solve a crime; for example, distinguishing drowning from strangulation. Fast forward, in 1784 an Englishman…
