More and more people are becoming interested in this varied and challenging branch of science. This is perhaps partly due to the exposure on popular television programmes like CSI and NCIS. It may also be due to the rapid changes in the technology now available to forensic scientists; such as DNA identification.
A lot of effort and skill goes into finding the evidence that might put a criminal away behind bars. It is important not to forget what an important job forensic scientists do. There are also many people working in the domain of Forensic Science; Crime Scene Investigators, Forensic Chemists, Crime Scene Investigators, Forensic Toxicologists are just some of the varied careers you could hope to get into by studying this subject. Each role is equally important and requires a lot of dedication and focus.
Fingerprints are one of the most useful elements in the field of forensic science. Everyone has their own unique fingerprint, making this a very reliable form of investigation. No two people have the same fingerprint, which enables forensic experts to assess who has been at the crime scene. As technology advances, there are an increasing number of other ways in which we can find evidence. Even with these other advances however, fingerprinting remains one of the most reliable and trustworthy elements of forensic science.
