Gender equity programmes and exemplar STEM organizations focused on a commitment to gender parity will be explored. Harnessing untapped female talent is as much a social justice issue as employing best practices for improving the quality, diversity and output of our forensic science workforce, and ...
Forensic science is the application of science to law. So,a forensic scientist uses scientific methods and processes to help solve crimes. Although the forensic scientists we see on television and in movies perform many roles and always seem to be in the action as they catch bad guys, this c...
Forensic science can give investigators information about how a crime was committed---including what weapons were used, when the crime happened and where the crime happened. For example, criminalists can examine shells from a gun to determine what kind of gun was used to commit a crime, and ...
Fingerprint science projects introduce to students the techniques used in forensic science. The project given here can be used in the classroom as part of a lesson on fingerprints. It can also be used as the starting point for a science fair project, by adding on to these basic techniques t...
When a serious crime such as a murder occurs, the identity of the perpetrator may not be obvious. In whodunit scenarios, where it is unclear who is responsible for wrongdoing, forensic science often provides the key to solving the mystery. ...

forensic science - bias - wrongful conviction - expert witnesses - innocenceSome institutional structures for inquiry produce better approximations to truth than others. The current institutional structure of police forensics gives each lab a monopoly in the analysis of the police evidence it receives. ...
So even if forensic anthropologists don't really cover all the ground they do on TV, they still have their work cut out for them. And to correctly analyze corpses, they've got to learn about decomposition. It helps to have firsthand experience -- that's where body farms come in. Body...
