INTRODUCTION The term forensic investigation refers to the use of science or technology in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidences to be used in legal cases or other proceedings. The scope of forensic analysis varies from information retrieval to reconstructing series of events that have occurred in the past. In this paper we would be discussing the meaning of the term ‘COMPUTER FORENSICS’, its uses, the users of computer forensics, steps involved in this type of forensic investigation
subject to forensic analysis. Also, some jurors may believe that forensic science is a perfect science that's always accurate, however they are ignoring the possibility of human or technical error. In the movie “The Real CSI”, it is stated that someone can be considered an expert based on knowledge, skill, experience, training or education, the real issue is that once a judge says they can testify they are considered an expert in their specific field. There are many problems in the forensic science
Allison Makarewicz Archaeology and Forensics Monday/ Wednesday 1:30 – 2:45 Paper 1 Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA) is an extremely important method when going over crime scenes. Bloodstain pattern analysis is a tried and tested method of mathematically calculating the location of the source of the spattered blood patterns in a three-dimensional space (International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis 3). Analysts look at bloodstain patterns in order to help

You may use a computer when working with fingerprints and DNA. Generally, forensic science technicians who work out in the crime scene and collect evidence are called criminalists or crime scene investigators
portrayed on television about forensic science, this report will focus on the academic, training, and personal requirements that are needed before going into the field. The purpose of this memorandum is to research what a forensic science technician does, by going into detail about the work involved as well as figuring out if the career is suitable for living in the state of California. Results: My initial focus for this memorandum was to define the career of a forensic science technician and to further
