Illustrate the differences between digital forensics and network forensics. Digital forensic:  Digital forensic is a branch of forensic science and it talks about the recovery and investigation report found in the digital devices.  Digital forensics is about the "preservation, identification, extraction, documentation and interpretation of computer data"  In order to accomplish these goals, there are well-defined procedures, also derived from law enforcement, for acquiring and analyzing the…

PhD in Forensic Science Summary: This article provides information about the PhD in Forensic Science. Forensic science is an advanced degree that works with law enforcement to secure firm prosecutions. Forensic scientist work with evidence and use advanced scientific methods to analyze and determine information from that evidence. Forensic science is science in the service of the law. Common techniques used by forensic scientists are: • DNA profiling • Ballistics • Fingerprint analysis •…

Forensic Analysis: Art or Science? Forensic analysis (often referred to as forensic science) is the application of science to legal matters and crime solving chemistry. There are many issues regarding this “science,” such as whether it is a “science” at all. Forensic analysis is more of an art than a science. There are many scientific methods and procedures involved with forensic analysis, but with the somewhat large possibility of human error affecting the results, and considering the…

The interest in forensic science started when I was in middle school. Originally when my father constantly had crime shows on t.v., I was annoyed and uninterested in the shows. After a while though I decided to just watch the show, and the more I did that, the more I enjoyed the shows. My favorite at the time was the show NCIS.

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…
