Fingerprint

So you just finished watching an episode of Bones or CSI and now you are wondering how you can get a job in forensic science. Or, even better, you've developed a passion for problem solving and a love for the natural sciences and the scientific method, and you'd like to find a way to use that knowledge towards fighting and solving crimes. If this describes you, then a career in forensic science will probably be the perfect criminology career for you. The term "forensic scientist" does not…

Abstract: Developed by Dr. Lawrence Farwell, the brain fingerprinting scheme has become the most reliable and accurate lie detectors, surpassing the polygraph test. It is based on the theory which states that; while a criminal act is being committed there may or may not be any electronic devices present, however, the brain is undoubtedly always present and it takes part planning, executing and recording the crime. The Brain Fingerprinting design employs electroencephalography (EEG) in order to…

murdered it is the job of the forensic technician to gather and examine all of the evidence at the crime scene using forensic science. The evidence at a crime scene can be anything. Some examples are blood, blood splatter, hair, fibers, footprints, fingerprints, drugs, bullets, bullet casings, broken glass, cut window screens among stuff that could help figure out who and what happened at the scene. Once all of the evidence has been collected, labeled, and transported properly to a lab, the CSI…

on some level because of the ease that it takes place. With the fingerprint clock from MinuteHound, buddy punching becomes a problem of the past! Because no one in the world has the same fingerprint, the fingerprint clock becomes a foolproof solution that cannot be replicated. When you have a coworker logging into or out of work, you know that the person is who they say they are. Another reason that you should consider the fingerprint clock technology from MinuteHound is because it eliminates…

Biometrics are defined as systems that are used to verify and identify people using their physical features (such as their faces and fingerprints) and also their behavioral characteristics (such as their handwriting) [1]. The field of biometrics is becoming more and more relevant these days as the need to enhance security systems and to solve crime mysteries has become one of the main focuses in the research industry. Biometrics is a broad field on its own because of its wide range of…

The job of a Forensic pathologist has always fascinated me. Forensic pathologist are more commonly know as medical examiners, not to be confused with a coroner. A medical examiner assists the government in determining the cause of death by examining a corpse,a process known as an autopsy. Medical examiners are not limited to forensic pathology, they can also become clinical pathologist and perform an autopsy upon request. I have always been intrigued by the science of pathology and anatomy, the…

Evidence is essential to solving a case. There are many different strategies to solve one. Some include using criminalistics, forensic serology, and forensic evidence. Different strategies may give more accurate results in figuring out a case. However, in “Forensic: Evidence, Clues, and Investigation” by Andrea Campbell, forensic evidence is the most important to use when attempting to solve a crime. Forensic evidence is any physical evidence pulled from the scene or collected throughout the…

Advancements in technology help the Criminal Justice System to detect a series of events that take place before, during, and after at a crime scene. Further, crime investigators apply general reasoning, physical, deductive and inductive and other scientific methods. Solving a crime scene is becoming a minor problem because crime scene engineers can use the forensic science to find out the events that took place when a crime scene occurred to get clear details concerning the crime scene (Cole…

In the eyes of Sherlock Holmes, doctors seemed to have a lot of knowledge of the human anatomy. Where and how to hit vital points in a persons body and also knowing that doctors tend to be perfectionists, Holmes came up with the theory that if a doctor goes wrong, they would be the first of all criminals. Not only do doctors study about the human body but also about chemistry and poisons to either heal or kill someone. This made Holme's theory pretty accurate. Not all doctors are criminals, but…

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…
