Forensics - Technology for Crime Scene and​ Accident Investigations

In forensic science, investigators and scientists analyse samples, marks and traces recovered from crime scenes and individuals in a defined and logical manner, recording the findings. Analysis of these samples can allow the scientists to report facts or their conclusions about the evidence recovered in relation to the suggested course of events. These evidential findings and the associated reports can be presented to courts where guilt or innocence are decided. Forensic science is wide ranging discipline, which can involve examinations ranging from simple visual inspection with microscopes through to complex manual or automated processes with interpretation of the analytical results.
