Animal Testing - More Common Than You Think

I once received a pamphlet from a friend when I was in college. He told me to read it and pass it on. The pamphlet contained information about animal testing. It listed the companies that still use it, and those that did not. I felt sad when I saw that many of the companies that did it were the companies that make many of the things that I use in my home.

Definition of Forensic Science

Forensics is a field of science dedicated to the methodical gathering and analysis of evidence to establish facts that can be presented in a legal proceeding. Though crime scenes and laboratories are perhaps, most often associated with forensics, there is also computer or network forensics, forensic accounting, forensic engineering and forensic psychiatry, among other specialized fields that are today an integral part of forensics. In the United States of America, forensics was a fairly obscure topic for the general public until the double-murder trial of Orenthal James Simpson in 1995. In the historic case that gripped the entire nation, weeks of testimony were heard on DNA blood evidence, shoeprint evidence, fiber evidence and other forensics. Since then, a bevy of forensics-based television shows have regularly topped the ratings, making it a household word.

Forensic Science Education

Forensic science is a multidisciplinary science used to provide impartial scientific evidence for use in the courts of law, drawing principally from chemistry, biology, physics, geology, psychology, social science and other subjects. In a forensic science program, one learns how to identify the boundaries of a crime scene and understand the principles of searching the crime scene for specific types of evidence, such as fingerprints, forensic identifiable material and other items of evidentiary value. Below are some universities across the United States providing courses in Forensic Sciences and Criminal Justice.

Forensic Computer Science

Computer forensics is the application of scientific methods to digital media in order to establish factual information for judicial review. The process often involves investigating computer systems to determine whether they are, or have been, used for illegal or unauthorized activities. Mostly, computer forensic experts investigate data storage devices, either fixed like hard discs or removable like compact disks and solid state devices. Computer forensics experts identify sources of documentary or other digital evidence, preserve the evidence, analyze it and present the findings.
