Forensic odontology is an investigative aspect of dentistry that analyzes dental evidence for human identification.1 Human identification has always been of great importance in the society. The role of a forensic odontologist is not only in identifying dead remains but also deals with cases such as criminal investigations, mass insurance settlements, military proceeding,2 identification of bite marks, age estimation and as a an expert witness in legal cases. Teeth being the most durable…

DNA in Animal Forensics I love watching murder mysteries shows on TV. In a lot of the shows suspects are caught by DNA evidence, but this has not always been the case. DNA study has progressed a lot over the recent years. One of the areas it has progressed, is using DNA in animal forensics. DNA profiling has changed a lot since it first become popular back in the 1980’s. Although using animal DNA to convict a suspect was not always accepted it has since been accepted to peer review journals.…

DNA is used to determine paternity test, figuring out deformities in human beings, and even figuring out someone’s ancestry background. But, in the criminal justice field they use DNA for identifying criminals or victims with accurate biological evidence (2014). I do feel DNA testing should always be mandatory. I believe this because when DNA is collected during an arrest this could help take a criminal off the streets and placed in prison or jail. Every crime committed can provide the right…

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material that carries the genetic instructions being used in growth, development and reproduction of all living things. DNA has regions called genetic polymorphisms that are used to determine paternity/maternity, kinship, determination of human remains, and inherited diseases. DNA is an example of what forensic use for evidence in a crime. Using regions in the DNA you can determine a “fingerprint” for an individual that can help in a crime, with this…

Forensic science still has a long way to go before it can be considered as a science of high degree of certainty. Although it has been beneficial to a certain extent especially with regards to DNA forensics technique which, I will be discussing further in this essay. It nonetheless, has significant implications, forensic science is prone to errors due to analytical and structural defect. Furthermore, most crime labs are not accredited, although there is a choice of being accredited it is not…

The ability to classify fingerprints using computer-based technology began in 1970 (Saferstein, 2015). Then, in 1999, AFIS was put into service (Saferstein, 2015). The advantage to the AFIS system is that the computer can quickly scan the large database of millions of fingerprints to find a match saving valuable time for criminal investigations (Saferstein, 2015). Even more impressive is the ability of AFIS to search with incredible speed up to ten fingerprint comparisons at a time…

Fingerprint evidence is highly accurate in the identification of suspects, because the likelihood of two different people possessing the same set of fingerprints is estimated to be one in 64 billion (Hall, 2015). Therefore, state and federal courts universally accept fingerprint evidence during a criminal trial due to the validated science behind the analysis of fingerprint characteristics (Hall, 2015). Next, as with everything else in law enforcement, computers have advanced fingerprint…

My primary interest of study lies in the field of forensic anthropology, in which I will analyze human remains while using a variety of techniques based on forensic chemistry to solve criminal cases. Moreover, forensic chemistry is a field of study that inspires my passion for science, while readying me for a future career as a forensic anthropologist. Ultimately, being an attendant at the Summer Pre-College Forensic Chemistry program at UMass Amherst will allow me to study a field that…

During the 10 through 24 weeks of gestation , ridges form on your epidermis, which is the outermost layer of skin on your fingertips. This pattern on your epidermis is known as your fingerprint. Fingerprint patterns are static and don’t change with age so an individual will have the same pattern from infancy to adulthood. Your fingerprint never changes over time, they will get bigger over time , but will not change. Fingerprints can be very helpful in identifying people. The FBI and many…
