Forensic
science has shaped the world of justice, fuelling
crime investigations and signifying the progress
of modern technology. Forensic science of today
covers :
- Modern computer/clay
facial reconstruction;
- DNA fingerprinting;
- Autopsy
techniques;
- Forensic anthropology;
- Toxicology and much more.
What more reliable method is there to prove
innocent or guilty other than through science?

Scene
Of Crime
This section is focused greatly on
crime scene procedures, very important
because only with the correct procedures
can forensic techniques be successfully
carried out and lead to the solving
of a crime. From the essentials of crime
scene photography to the various types
of search techniques, explore - Scene
Of Crime.
The
Autopsy
The autopsy is the best opportunity
to reveal truth from the silent witness:
the corpse. Evidence found on the body
can be used to deduce the cause, time
and manner of death, the key factors
of any murder. Covering aspects such
as forensic entomology and some basics
in determing the time since death, discover
- The
Autopsy.
Piecing
Together Identity
When the identity of a victim is unknown,
facial reconstruction in the form of
computer or clay reconstruction and
DNA are the most reliable means to recovering
the unknown. Odontology and serology
are two fields of study covered in this
section -
Piecing Together Identity
Tracing
The Evidence
A section based on the analysis of
different types of evidence, ranging
from bloodstains to glass shards. The
forensic laboratory's different departments
and the purposes of each are briefly
described here, but the main sections
are aimed to enlighten about what may
be deduced from the tiniest pieces of
evidence. Enjoy -
Tracing The Evidence.
Narrowing
The Suspects
Narrowing down the suspects to find
the true criminal is the objective of
comparative forensic techniques. Psychological
profiling and handwriting analysis are
some ways to verify the likeliness of
a suspect having committed the crime.
Read about the different techniques
used to fulfil this aim in -
Narrowing The Suspects.
Murder
Tools
The unique wounds left by different
weapons give away much information on
the type, size and make of the tool.
Often, murder weapons can be an everyday
household item or may otherwise not
even exist in a solid form, if say,
the victim were posioned. Learn about
toxicology, artillery and more in -
Murder
Tools.
Crimes
Of Stealth
The role of forensic science extends
beyond the barriers of murder cases
to the everyday crimes of theft and
fraud. The information covered in this
section relates to such crimes as art
imitation, computer forensics and counterfeit.
Enjoy yourself perusing the section
- Crimes
Of Stealth.

Site Features
|
|
| This
site has incorporated a variety of user
friendly features to help people of different
ages and backgrounds learn about the science
of forensics. Terms typical to the forensic
discourse are included in the site glossary
and highlighted in blue throughout the text.
When the mouse is placed over a dark blue
term, a definition will appear below. Images
taken with kind permission have also been
used to supplement the text and stimulate
learning. The site
map can be consulted for ease of use
when finding a certain topic and for any
technical or subject related questions,
the help
section can be used. An extra
materials section contains some lesson
plans, easy-to-do home experiments
and a list of case
studies, which are also shown at random
at the right of the webpages. Likewise,
facts of interest are also displayed above
the case studies. |

| Our
Mission |
|
|
Humans are an intelligent
species because of our incredible ability
to evolve and sense of need for progress.
The developments in forensic science have
likewise introduced many vital crime solving
techniques over the past few decades,
which our website, "Forensic Science",
aims solely to provide information about.
We encourage people of all ages to peruse
through the site, whether for the purpose
of a hobby, school assignment or best
of all, for sheer urge to go on a quest
for forensic knowledge.

The site attempts to
educate through intriguing the audience
with the different aspects of forensics
and emphasise the key role forensic science
plays in determining the innocence/guilt
of a suspect. Each technique used by forensic
scientists must be precise and accurate
enough to deal with the seriousness of
the matter it concerns i.e the conviction/acquittal
of a person, which, in some countries
around the world, is a matter of life
or death.
Forensic Science
covers the different techniques used to
analyse a variety of crimes, sectioned
into a logical order (located at the left)
and also features an interactive
section of interviews,
quizzes,
science
experiments and more. The information
has been written to target a broad audience,
with the use of concise but easy-to-understand
language to explain many of the concepts
used in forensics. There is also a slight
touch up on crime
scene procedures, which are necessary
in order to fuel a thorough forensic investigation.

Without forensic science,
the truth behind some of the most criminal
actions would still remain a mystery.

| Three
different versions
and languages
are available for the site, targetting the
various connection speeds and users. Coincidentally,
chinese is the most spoken language in terms
of people while english is the language
used in the largest number of regions in
the world. We hope that users will enjoy
forensic science and gain a thoroughly forensic
experience. |
