Forensic Science
Course Description
This course discusses techniques used by forensic scientists in identification, collection, comparison, and analysis of different types of physical evidence from crime scenes. The course is intended for the non-science major seeking a law enforcement career but it is useful to all students interested in the field of forensic science. Emphasis will be given to trace evidence, DNA evidence, bloodstain patterns, firearms, tool marks, fingerprints, questioned documents, drugs, arson, explosives, computer forensics, and courtroom expert witness testimony. This is a combined content lecture and skill-building crime lab utilization course.
