Forensic science

explosives can be easily detonated and extremely sensitive to heat. The secondary explosives are explosives that are less sensitive to heat. 4. Substrate control is a sample that has been uncontaminated by a flammable substance. It will allow the forensic scientists…

crimes. I remember watching the forensic scientist in the lab doing autopsies and examinations to help solve the crime and catch the bad guy, and I found myself wondering how neat it would be to be able to help someone like that. That is why I am interested in becoming a Forensic Science Technician due to the overall good outlook, the decent salary and for the memories that are…

benefits of forensic science? Why is the application of forensic science in courtrooms beneficial? Can forensic science further lead to less cases where innocent people are put into prison for something they did not commit? It is said that "Since 1989, there have been tens of thousands of cases where prime suspects were identified and pursued—until DNA testing proved that they were wrongly accused" (Innocence Project, 2016). It is time, at last, to speak the truth about forensic science, and…

Forensic Science: fact or pseudo? Three articles, “Forensic Science Controversies” by Rachel Kaufman published in CQ Press, “Forensic Science” from an FBI handbook on Opposing Viewpoints, and “But it Works on TV” by Sharon Begley from Opposing Viewpoints, discussed in this essay have comparing and contrasting rhetorical elements. Those rhetorical elements are the use of factual data from crime scenes (logos and pathos), contrasting writer credibility (ethos), and different appeals to certain…

WILDLIFE FORENSIC SCIENCE What is wildlife forensics? How these crimes are determined a crime, and how are these crimes determined solved even if they are identified? Many people don’t even consider the multiple crimes, murders or mutilations of animals that are occurring on a daily basis out in nature. We see and hear about crimes against animals daily, and we do not stop to think about how many of these crimes tie into trafficking, murders or smuggling. The Scope of Wildlife Forensic is…

I’m highly interested in this opportunity because of my educational experience and my interest in forensic science. I understand that candidates with laboratory experience is…

DNA Fingerprinting Introduction Background: DNA fingerprinting is one of the great discoveries of the late 20th century,that has revolutionized forensic investigations. (Roewer 2013) The complete DNA of each individual is unique, with the exception of identical twins. It is this difference that can be used by forensic scientists to match specimens of blood , tissue, or hair follicles to an individual with a high level of certainty. A DNA fingerprint, therefore, is a DNA pattern that has a…

I am currently studying forensic science and I love what I do, ever since I was younger I have always wanted to do forensic science, a dream that seemed almost impossible to do to me at the time, many people told me that it wasn’t possible for me to do. Despite this, I carried on and pursed my dream to study forensics at a degree level and I am proud of that, I strive to be someone who can step out of their comfort zone and take the steps to do what their heart desires regardless of any setbacks…

collect forensic evidence, such as hairs, fibers, and tissues, to establish their importances during criminal investigations. Crime Scene Investigators are generally forensic scientists or field examiners who have been trained and guided to gather evidence throughout criminal research. People who have pursued careers in this field of biomedical science hold a bachelor's degree in a forensic field, and a degree in other topics, such as biology. Crime Scene Investigators or Forensic Science…

a brief history of forensic science. The video Welcome to Homicide will also be reviewed and mentioned within this paper.
