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
Forensic Science Career Forensic science plays a fundamental role in the criminal justice structure. It is known that every career route has its own ins and outs. A career in the field of forensic science is not an exception. Forensic science is the supplement of science to law. It has become extremely popular among law students nowadays. Everyone has its own grounds to be engaged in this profession. Nowadays there is a wide variety of TV series inspiring young minds to take up career of Forensic
defined in several ways. The most relevant definition is the application of scientific and engineering principle to the processing of material by biological agents to provide goods and services useful to human and human welfare. It is defined as a science which involves cell biology, microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, Genetic Engineering, Tissue culture, Bioprocess, Bio-informatics, Nanotechnology etc. Any technique that use living organisms as substances from which organisms can be made
Forensic (from the Latin word forum) means ‘court of law’. Odontology refers to study of teeth. Federation Dentaire Interrnational (FDI) thus defines Forensic Odontology as ‘that branch of dentistry which deals with the proper handling and examination of dental evidence and with the proper evaluation and presentation of dental findings in the interest of justice’ (by Keiser-Neilson). Forensic dentistry / odontology, the application of dentistry to legal issues, is a relatively new aspect of forensic
H.M. Adams Criminal Justice 102 Writing Laboratory Professor Reid Toth September 11, 2014 The first step and possibly the most important during an investigation is to secure the crime scene. Essentially the reason behind the importance needed to secure a crime scene is to protect evidence from any unnecessary intrusion by persons authorized or unauthorized that could result in the contamination of the evidence even if the cause of contamination is done unintentionally. This procedure is implemented
be used to identify people and when coupled with the raw capability and processing power of a database• the DNA profile becomes a tool for many to wield. DNA profiling can be used to solve crimes, track people and even perform paternity tests. • (Science Museum of London, DNA Profiling) Regardless of affinity DNA Profiling will affect everyone who lives in a society where the tool is in use, there is no way to truly determine whether DNA Profiling is right or wrong and for what reasons but it can

difficult and strenuous profession, but In school science awoke my interest in Medicine. I enjoyed the neurosciences and genetics modules as a combination of the different sciences. Knowing more about the functioning of the body on a molecular basis would enable me to understand the occurrence of certain illnesses, as small changes can have a massive impact, such as the onset of progeria. Through studying chemistry I came to understand aspects of other sciences or even everyday life. The basics of biomolecules
But when discussed in depth, the meaning and application of 5W and 1 H on digital evidence and chain of custody among researchers are different from each other. Some have suggested that the 5W and 1 H aspects must always exist in every stage of forensic activity and its interaction with digital evidence, but there is also meaning that the aspect is sufficient to describe the initial process when obtaining digital evidence. In the context of recording interactions with digital evidence, the meaning
Introduction What is DNA? The scientific definition is “deoxyribonucleic acid, the biological polymer that stores the genetic information in all free-living organisms. Now that the definition has been stated, let’s now define what DNA means to a crime scene or case investigator. This paper will explore deoxyribonucleic acid, also famously known as (DNA). How it is collected and its relationship to solving crimes. The collection of DNA is one of the most important steps in identifying a suspect
