Before the 1980s‚ courts relied on testimony and eyewitness accounts as a main source of evidence. Notoriously unreliable‚ these techniques have since faded away to the stunning reliability of DNA forensics. In 1984‚ British geneticist Alec Jeffreys of the University of Leicester discovered an interesting new marker in the human genome. Most DNA information is the same in every human‚ but the junk code between genes is unique to every person. Junk DNA used for investigative purposes can be found

If you were a forensic anthropologist and were studying human remains‚ what information would you look for in the bones? Why would this information be helpful? What can the distribution of bones tell a forensic scientist? What do you think would be the most challenging aspect of colImagine that you are at a crime scene.

Forensic Toxicology Anthony Mack Research Paper Period: 8th What’s a Forensic Toxicologist? A forensic toxicologist is first a scientist. But when he/she applies scientific knowledge to assist juries‚ attorneys‚ and judges in understanding the poisons in science. Then he/ she are forensic Toxicologists. A forensic toxicologist is a scientist that works with law enforcement agencies to determine if any poisons or drugs are found in biological fluids or human tissues are collected

Forensic Pathology The career that I researched was forensic pathology. The job of a pathologist is to determine a person ’s cause of death by examining tissues and fluids from the body. A forensic pathologist does this as well‚ but they are trained to examine people who died unexpectedly or violently and to recognize other things that a regular pathologist might not‚ such as recognizing something as intentional rather than accidental. They have to determine who the person is‚ the time of death

Review Questions 1. What is a comparison microscope? What are the advantages of this microscope? A comparison microscope is a type of microscopes that is commonly used in a forensic laboratory. This microscope combines two microscopes into one unit‚ allowing the viewer to see what is under each of the lenses at the same time. This is a huge advantage because it allows you to compare evidence with a known sample because the two samples can be examined side by side. 2. What are the three substances

Computer forensics‚ also called digital forensics‚ network forensics‚ or cyberforensics‚ is a rapidly growing field that involves gathering and analyzing evidence from computers and networks. Because computers and the internet are the fastest growing technology used for criminal activity‚ the need for computer forensics specialists will increase in years to come. A computer forensics specialist examines computer media‚ programs‚ data‚ and log files on computers‚ servers‚ and networks. Many areas

In court when evidence is shown‚ such as finger prints‚ blood stains‚ and weapons‚ it is Forensic Science. This evidence is mainly used in violent crimes. Murder would be an example of this. Small crimes such as burglary Forensic Science would not be used. Forensic Science has

Introduction and background information: Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science involving the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices used in crimes or by criminals. In the past 15 years it has expanded greatly with all the advances in technology but much of the new technology has not been studied yet. The research I am doing is important because if the study is successful in the future many forensic departments could use my research to solve crimes. Key terms:

Reactive Forensics: As the name proposes‚ receptive crime scene investigation takes a gander at something that has as of now happened then‚ reflectively‚ conducts an after death and examinations the saw conduct to gather what can be figured out how to counteract it happening once more. Regularly considered the more conventional way to deal with security‚ it shapes the bedrock of various security applications -‚ for example‚ firewalls and hostile to infection programming.
