Thanks To Forensics and Crime Scene Investigation

We are able to identify and process evidence very promptly which saves time and money. We are also able to identify and prosecute criminals linked to a crime thanks to DNA evidence. We can catch criminals of identity theft using computers and mathematical analysis. Our lives are much safer and more secure as a result of the advances attributed to forensics (Knight). Forensic scientists play a major role in today’s law enforcement system, from the history, influential people, the nature of the job and the division of crime laboratories down to the crime scene basics.

3 Types of Evidence

In court one can present testimonial, physical or trace evidence. Testimonial evidence includes and oral or written statement and testimony by eyewitnesses. Physical evidence refers to anything that would be present at the crime scene, on the victim, or found in the suspects possession. Lastly, trace evidence is found at a crime scene in small but quantifiable amounts (“Crime Laboratories”).
