Summary of Forensics

 Hello people today's post is about a summary of what we have done this week in our new hurmanu/Forensics. This week so far we have been learning about evidence and how people can solve a crime. When we first started this class with a site that we had to try to solve a crime. The next day we had to learn about evidence and how it is used to prove a crime scene and the next day we had to write a summary which is this.

What are Forensic scientists: Forensic science, also known as criminalistics, is the application of science to criminal and civil laws, mainly—on the criminal side—during criminal investigation, as governed by the legal standards of admissible evidence and criminal procedure.

Why do we need Forensic Scientists? Forensic scientists apply scientific knowledge and skills to investigating crimes and helping the police find or eliminate crime suspects. They may also do research into developing or improving forensic techniques.

What are some of the jobs they do?

• Crime scene attendants.
• Fingerprint officers.
• Behavioural analysts.
• Electronic crime analysts.
• Document examiners.
• Scene of crime officers.

What type of evidence do they collect: The most common biological evidence found at crime scenes are body fluids (eg blood, saliva). The surface on which they are deposited determines the collection and packaging procedure to be carried out. Wet stains are always air-dried before packaging can take place.
