Investigations in Forensic Science
Introduction
The forensic science workshop is designed to familiarize students with the basic principles and uses of forensic science in the American system of justice. Forensic science is the study and application of science to the processes of law. It involves the collection, examination, evaluation and interpretation of evidence. This field encompasses many scientific areas, which, if used properly, can make invaluable contributions to the resolution of social and legal disputes. The workshop will focus on the basic applications of physical evidence to law. In doing so, students should gain a basic understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the forensic sciences as they are presently practiced.
Description: This workshop is designed to provide a basic foundation in the application of Forensic Science. The students are given the chance to experience the various investigative tools in analytical and instrumental methods used in investigating crimes. The students will analyze physical evidence commonly seen in crime such as hair, fiber, fingerprints, drugs, and DNA, just to name a few.
