(‘forensic science’ is the application of ‘science’ to ‘criminal’ + ‘civil’ laws, mainly (on the ‘criminal’ side) during ‘criminal investigation’, as governed by the ‘legal standards’ of ‘admissible evidence’ + ‘criminal procedure’)
.
(‘forensic scientists’ (‘collect’ / ‘preserve’ / ‘analyze’) ‘scientific evidence’ during the course of an ‘investigation’)
(while some ‘forensic scientists’ travel to the ‘scene of the crime’ to collect the evidence themselves, others occupy a ‘laboratory role’, performing analysis on objects brought to them by other individuals)
(in addition to their ‘laboratory role’, forensic scientists testify as ‘expert witnesses’ in both ‘criminal’ + ‘civil’ cases and can work for either the ‘prosecution’ or the ‘defense’)
(while any field could technically be forensic, certain sections have developed over time to encompass the majority of ‘forensically related cases’)
.
(‘forensic science’ is a combination of 2 different ‘latin words’…)
(‘forensis’ + ‘science’)
.
(‘forensic’ relates to a ‘discussion’ or ‘examination’ performed ‘in public’)
(…because trials in the ‘ancient world’ were typically held ‘in public’, it carries a ‘strong judicial connotation’)
(the second is ‘science’, which is derived from the ‘latin word’ for ‘knowledge’ and is today closely tied to the ‘scientific method’ + ‘a systematic way of acquiring knowledge’)
.
*taken together, then, ‘forensic science’ can be seen as the use of the ‘scientific methods’ + ‘scientific processes’ in ‘crime-solving’*
