Let evidence reveal the truth


Forensic science has shaped the world of justice, fuelling crime investigations and signifying the progress of modern technology. Forensic science of today covers :
  • Modern computer/clay facial reconstruction;
  • DNA fingerprinting;
  • Autopsy techniques;
  • Forensic anthropology;
  • Toxicology and much more.
Forensic Science covers the different techniques used to analyse a variety of crimes, sectioned into a logical order and also features an interactive section of interviews,quizes, science experiment and more. The information has been written to target a broad audience, with the use of concise but easy-to-understand language to explain many of the concepts used in forensics. There is also a slight touch up on crime scene procedures, which are necessary in order to fuel a thorough forensic investigation.

Perhaps it may seem as though forensics always revolves around the laboratory, in which case it does, but one should not underestimate the importance of what takes place at the crime scene itself, for without before there is no after, just as there wouldn't be much use for forensic science if incorrect crime scene procedures led to the discredit of forensic evidence in court.
