Forensic Science Cases

Science Used in Cases

There may be times when science is used in some cases. Forensic science it’s the science used to solve a case like a homicide, bioterrorist, disappearances cases like those. Now the word forensic comes from the Latin word Fore᷃nsis with the meaning “of or before the forum”. It was during the Romans, when a criminal was captured, they were to be taken and be presented before a group of public individuals in the forum. This may be the reason as to why forensic science is used in court cases and in the justice system. Without forensic science the world would not be able to solve the riddle and mysteries that have baffled earlier on forensic specialist.

Often there is a life-death situation in a crime. After

Like anthropology that is the use of scientific study of humans, that involves their bones too (Latta Pg.7). To an anthologists the bones that are found are used to tell a story of the deceased person’s life (Pg.10). A (biological) anthropologist, with the right training, can tell the difference between of a human skeletal remains and an animal’s skeletal remains. They can even tell whether the skeleton remains are male or female (Pg.12). The bones provided information about the age of the skeleton remain with the deceased person (Mackay Pg.47, 48). The way that the age can be determined is by the size if the bone. Though it would not be easy for the anthologist to decipher the full story if the bone has been tampered with. There will be times when the anthologist can’t determine how the person died (Pg.44). There will also be times when the anthropologist had to dig up the remains from the place where it was estimated to be. A forensic Anthropologist cannot identify or analyze skeletal material that the person does not have. (Pg.41, 42). The next field is forensic pathology. Pathology is the examination the body in search of the cause of death. A pathologist must determine whether or not a body is dead or alive. Then they are to find out the time of death, also known as postmortem interval. The signs of death are divided into 2 phases Early and Late. The Early stage of death includes the coolness if the body. Which is

But beneficial to forensic microbiologist by using genetic engineering on themselves they can solve a case of biological crimes quickly. These scientists use their knowledge of life to protect it (Mackay Pg.86). There is a field within forensic science that focuses on the study if microscopic organism. This is because microscopic organisms can be used to commit a crime (Pg. 74). There was once a huge threat of biological weapons that posed a threat to modern society in Tokyo. When a well thought out plan with germs had affected the people on a train had caused symptoms such as coughing, choking, and vomiting. The substance used in Tokyo train can kill people within 10 minutes after inhaled (Pg. 76). “The potential of Biological weapons being used is greater than at any other time in history”. Quote by Microbiologist Bruce Budowle and Collages. (Pg.78). Some diseases caused by organisms that is classified as potential biological weapons occurs from time to time. A forensic microbiologist will come to evaluate a community when multiple people in that community catch a serious medical symptoms. They will come to determine if there is a reason to suspect that a bioterrorist crime has taken place (Pg. 79). An important to find out is to correctly identify the pathogen a disease producing agent is to use a suspicious outbreak so that people infected can
