Why Forensic Science is a damaging TV series? Forensic Files is a popular TV series on Netflix that does more harm than good in the criminal justice world. Forensic Files is about the investigations they use to solve cases such as murders and kidnappings. The show, however, while good for entertainment purposes, can be more harmful than good for people to watch and rely on for educational purposes because it misrepresents the jobs related to it and gives people the tendency to overestimate how useful these tools are.
It then proceeds to examine the need for these skills in the real world and the need for these skills to be taught at university level. It starts by examining the general case of all students arriving in college for the first time and by the end gets to the particular needs of computer science students and others in the more practical disciplines.
